Family meals are important and West Vancouver adults agree!
Our coalition wanted our positive community norms message to encourage families to take time to eat dinner together. There are many benefits to eating dinner as a family. Our coalition created a resource guide that lists some of the benefits of eating together on the front of the resource guide and some local community resources on the back!
