Newman’s Own Foundation
CFTC was recently chosen to receive a $10,000 grant from Newman's Own Foundation which will go towards our Canadian Nutrition Program. Here's our own Lisa Doucette-Tassé with Pamela Papay, Special Councilor to the President (l) and Mark Tilly, Director Sales (r). Thank you to Paul Newman and the legacy he leaves for the inspiration, the greatly-appreciated funds and - of course - the fabulous salad dressing!

Going Without Brings Hope
Sixty students in Alberta took part in a 24-hour famine fundraiser and added a few twists that resulted in the group raising more than $3,600 - triple their goal! Great job, Calgary French and International School!

Happy Canada Day!
For thousands of kids across the country, though, life's no picnic. This Canada Day – as you're celebrating with fireworks, music and barbeques – take a moment to express your true patriot love by supporting one of CFTC's nutrition programs, either in Canada or elsewhere in the world.

Thank you! From the bottom of our glowing hearts – and a happy, healthy Canada Day to all!
