Outreach
Community engagement is an important part of our lab’s mission. We value opportunities to share knowledge about nutrition and health beyond the academic setting and to contribute to public understanding of evidence-based nutrition. Our outreach activities aim to promote health literacy, inspire curiosity about nutrition science, and foster connections between research and the community.

Our lab contributes to this McMaster-led initiative by delivering workshops on topics in Kinesiology to elementary schools in the Hamilton area. We lead the nutrition education component, helping students learn about healthy eating and the role of nutrition in physical activity and overall well-being.

Members of our lab also contribute to broader nutrition engagement initiatives with the Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS) —organizing events that connect students with nutrition research and professional development opportunities.
