Summer 2015 Menu

Note: This menu complies 100% with the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth. Water is served throughout

the day. We use whole grain/wheat products. We try to reduce sodium level by making our soups & omitting processed foods.

(We do not serve processed foods, chocolate milk or liquid candy.) We do provide lactose free milk if required. On special

occasions a treat is offered to children some of the time and not considered part of their regular menu plan. All foods for

infants and babies are modified/pureed for their appropriate development needs and will be discussed with parents/guardians

to ensure daily dietary needs are met. WE support breast feeding and will work with mother with scheduling, breast milk

storage, and space to accommodate nursing times.

In the same way, the meals/snack/drink must be eaten while on shift at the hall and not packed to take home. Thank you for your cooperation!
