On June 10, 2017, Health Canada launched a public consultation on restricting the marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to children. The proposed approach aims to protect children from marketing tactics that encourage them to eat unhealthy foods. The participation of Canada’s sport sector is essential to this consultation process, and your contributions to this dialogue are welcome. Health Canada wants to hear from the sport sector. They are cognizant of possible impacts that potential new restrictions on marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to children may have on Canada’s sport landscape. The deadline for feedback is July 25, 2017.
