Healthy Discussions
Healthy Discussions is a Quality of Care NL webinar series where we have quality conversations about health, health care and social systems in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Healthy Discussions: Navigating the Canadian Dental Care Plan
The new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps make the cost of oral health care more affordable by providing coverage for a wide range of dental services. We’ll be joined by the Newfoundland and Labrador Dental Association for a healthy discussion about who is eligible for the CDCP, how to apply, and how much of your dental care will be covered. We’ll also discuss provincial programs that provide dental care coverage for children and adults in NL.
April is National Oral Health Month, highlighting the importance of maintaining good oral health and its connection to overall well-being. Learn more at https://www.cda-adc.ca/EN/oral_health/health_month/default.asp.
Healthy Discussions: Producing Your Own Food
Are you interested in local food, growing your own fruits, vegetables or other crops, backyard farming or homesteading? Did you know that local food production can make a positive impact when it comes to nutrition, food security and the environment? March is Nutrition Month! This year’s theme, Nourish to Flourish, is all about how nutrition and food do more than just keep us healthy—they bring us together, support our mental health, and help us connect socially and culturally. Join us for a Healthy Discussion with members of the Food Producers Forum about what is possible when it comes to local food production in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as tips to help you get started on your own journey.
