March has been designated as Nutrition Month by dietitians of Canada since early 1980. In Ontario, Small group of nutritionists start the initiative in 1970 and chosen one week of the year as Nutrition week. They collaborated with other health professional and community groups. The campaign started to grow, and then local dietitians participated in the campaign by planning special activities in diverse places as shopping malls, work places, library and media. This broad approach contributed more success for the campaign. Therefore, the movement grows into other provinces and they started similar independent campaigns. After almost a decade, the campaign became so successful that all province associations and Canadian dietitian association joint together and announced the First National Nutrition Week. One year later, the campaign extended to one month because of the great accomplishments of the campaign.
