Year in Review
The Canadian Nutrition Society / la Société canadienne de nutrition (CNS/SCN) is the only organization in Canada that brings together the full spectrum of disciplines and professions committed to advancing nutrition science and practice. Our community spans nutrition researchers and professionals, healthcare and clinical practitioners, government and policy leaders, industry representatives—including food innovators, processors, manufacturers, and distributors—as well as students and emerging leaders shaping the future of the field.
Today, CNS unites more than 1,000 members from across Canada, the United States, and around the world. In addition, we engage a broad and growing network of partners, program participants, and stakeholders who rely on CNS as a hub for credible information, meaningful collaboration, and professional development.

With the ongoing support of our partners, we are able to deliver high-quality educational programs, champion advocacy initiatives, and respond rapidly to emerging issues and opportunities that influence nutrition policy and practice. Together with our supporters, we are driving impact, fostering dialogue, and helping shape a healthier future for all.
