International flavor of world food day

World Food Day will be held at the Townsville Multicultural Support Group grounds on October 16, and will involves refugee and migrants showcasing healthy and affordable traditional foods during a taste testing event at lunch.

The Townsville Multicultural Support Group, in partnership with Queensland Health (Health Promotion Unit) and Townsville City Council are holding the occasion to promote the theme ‘Healthy Food is Affordable’ for World Food Day.

The event will complement a program in which up to 14 refugees and migrants are participating in education sessions, conducted by Naomi McGrath, on adopting a holistic, Community Nutritionist with Queensland Health, healthy lifestyle as part of the Eat Well Be Active Community Partnerships Program funded by the Department of Communities.
