Attendees will examine proposals to strengthen school nutrition standards, nutrition information on labels and menus, food taxes, marketing to children, reformulating foods to minimize added salt and harmful fats, and much more. The Fairmont Château Laurier, located next door to the East Block, is known to some as the third chamber of Parliament.
