ELECTION FORUM
An All-Candidates Forum will take place in the Valley Room on April 18, 6-8 p.m.
Proclaimed candidates running for the Cariboo-Chilcotin riding in the May 14 provincial election will speak and answer questions from the public. E-mail questions in advance to manager@southcariboochamber.org or drop them in the mail slot at South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce (off Fourth Street).
Written questions will also be accepted at the door, and will be used as time permits.
PAY IT FORWARD
April 25 is Pay It Forward Day in British Columbia, and six other provinces are also involved in the movement.
People are encouraged to do between one and three good deeds for others that day without asking for anything in return, except that they to “pay it forward” in another act of kindness to someone else.
The global Pay It Forward movement and non-profit foundation have been vital in inspiring good deeds in more than 70 countries.
FOOD AWARE
The Informed Dining program recently expanded to include 22 national restaurant chains (1,800 outlets) and is now providing British Columbia consumers with nutrition information on standard menu items.
Nutrition information displayed at the point of ordering allows people to make informed decisions about what they eat.
The voluntary program particularly highlights calorie and sodium content information to help customers understand how a menu item fits into their daily dietary needs.
