Mississauga, ON – August 30, 2011 -- This September 1st marks a new era in Ontario’s history as schools across the province take health and nutrition education one step further by providing healthy food choices at the place where kids eat 40 per cent of their weekly meals. Chartwells (a division of Compass Group Canada), the leading foodservice provider to over 400 schools in Ontario, has invested significant resources to ensure that the food it serves will be in keeping with the new policy and, most importantly, taste good and provide value for students.

VICTORIA – Patients at Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospitals will soon be served healthy and nutritious meals with increased menu choices as a result of a new contract VIHA has signed for food services at these two sites.

The contract is with Morrison (a division of Compass Group Canada) for a new, innovative food preparation and delivery model called Steamplicity^®, which steams food using the natural water in the ingredients – a method of cooking that retains the most nutrients in food.
