People across the country are being encouraged to eat and shop healthier in March.

According to a release by the Department of Health and Social Services, Yellowknifers can partake in this month's initiative by eating together as a family, cooking healthier meals or reaching for a handful of strawberries instead of a bag of chips. The GNWT is launching a social media campaign encouraging people to “Take the challenge” and submit photos to healthpromotion@gov.nt.ca

Residents are also being encouraged by the GNWT to consult a registered dietitian for advice because everyone has different requirements when it comes to eating healthy.
