A brighter life by eating better

We recognize that our stores offer hundreds of choices and labels and it can be hard to know what to buy to keep you and your family healthy.  Fresh or frozen?  Low fat or cholesterol-free?  And what about hydrogenated fats, sugar, calcium, antioxidants and fibre?  Just one of the hundreds of food and health solutions we offer, our Nutrition Tours can help you sort it all out.

Professional tour guides

Our award-winning Nutrition Tours are led by our team of Registered Dietitians.  Our nutrition experts will lead your group and show you what to look for on food labels.  We’ll show you how to choose foods to meet special dietary requirements and provide answers to your questions about cholesterol, saturated fats, antioxidants and fibre.  You’ll learn how healthy eating can reduce your risk of disease and help you look and feel better.

Parent and Kid’s Nutrition Tours

The Parent and Kid’s Nutrition Tours Kit consists of teaching guides, classroom activities and grade specific materials.  The main portion of the program consists of an interactive supermarket tour, facilitated by a Registered Dietitian.  This program is designed to meet the learning outcomes of Kindergarten through Grade 3, established by the Healthy Living and Career Exploration segment of British Columbia Ministry and Education’s Personal Planning curriculum of Alberta Learning.  Tours are also available for grades 4 to 6.

Brought to you by Overwaitea Food Group, Kids’ Tours are free for the asking.

Teen Tours

The Teen Tour is led by a Registered Dietitian, who guides the group on an excursion through our store focusing on healthy eating and interactive activities.

The Teen Tour is designed to meet the grades 10 to 12 curriculum requirements for Career and Life Management (C.A.L.M.) in Alberta and Planning 10 in British Columbia.  The tour can also be customized to meet special curriculum learning outcomes in Science, Biology, Physical Education and Food classes, to a variety of knowledge levels and for grades 7 to 9.  Tours that focus on sport nutrition are also available for sports teams.

Brought to you by Overwaitea Food Group, Teen Tours are free for the asking.

Adult Tours

The Adult Tour is a 60 to 90 minute long, aisle to aisle excursion through our store.  An informational handbook with tips on healthy eating shopping and great-tasting, healthy recipes will be provided.  Tours are now FREE of charge!
