Our Food, Our Stories – 2009, Celebrating Our Gifts from the Creator
Celebrating Our Gifts from the Creator is a collection of traditional recipes, stories and photographs from AHSUNC sites across Canada. In 2008, the AHS Association of British Columbia (ASHABC) began the process of creating a National Nutrition Resource and Cookbook, by inviting recipes from all the AHSUNC sites across Canada. These recipes reflect the culture and identify of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in Canada as they celebrate their connectedness to the land.

2008 AHSUNC Site Map (to come)
The program has 129 AHSUNC sites operating in eight provinces and all three northern territories. AHSUNC was designed to be flexible and diverse enough to meet the wide range of needs of First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures living in markedly different circumstances and geographical locations. Sites are locally designed and controlled, and administered by non-profit Aboriginal organizations. Approximately 4,500 children are enrolled in AHSUNC sites each year.
