Advocacy: Shaping Policy, Elevating the Profession

Dietitians of Canada is committed to amplifying the voice of dietitians and shaping policies that enhance food, nutrition, and health systems. Through collaboration with members, government stakeholders, and partners, DC advocates for policies that increase access to dietitians and create meaningful change.
 

A key priority is ensuring dietitians have opportunities to influence decision-makers and shape the food and nutrition landscape. This is achieved through government engagement, strategic partnerships, and the dedicated efforts of advocacy committees and member volunteers. Together, we work to:
 

• Expand coverage for dietitian services in employee benefit plans.
• Increase access to dietitians within the health system.
• Advocate for policies that promote healthy eating and a sustainable food system.
• Address household food insecurity through policy change.
