Scope and Content

This sub-subseries documents various promotional campaigns for Canadian food products orchestrated by government departments, public organizations and producer associations.

It contains over 100 booklets published by organizations such as the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Fisheries (or Fisheries and Oceans Canada), the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, the Dairy Farmers of Canada and the Beef Information Centre. While some of these publications were driven by commercial or nationalist motives, some were also part of a public education program to promote healthy eating habits.
