Every year the Grenada Food and Nutrition Council spearhead the staging of a National Nutrition Quiz among secondary schools who follow the Food and Nutrition curriculum.  The winner of this quiz represents Grenada at the regional nutrition quiz competition which is conducted by the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute (CFNI).  Grenada has won the regional competition on two occasions – 2001 & 2003.  The objectives of this quiz are two-fold:

 

1.     To provide opportunity for students to review course work in preparation for the CXC examination
2.     To improve the image of Food and Nutrition not only in Grenada but also in the region.
 
 
This year, the competition will be done in zones: South, East, West and Carriacou on one day and thereafter the winners of each zone will meet in the grand final. The first round of the competition will be held on March 15, 2007 at 1pm, with the venue for the south zone being TAMCC Hospitality Arts Department; for the East zone it will be held at Bain’s Hall; for the West zone the venue will be Victoria Seventh Day Adventist Church and for Carriacou it will be John’s Unique Conference Room.
 
The competition will be on an individual basis where students from various schools across Grenada will compete for top points in each zone. The three persons with the most points from each zone will advance to the finals which will be held on March 21st .  The top four finalists will comprise the team that will represent Grenada at the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute’s Regional Quiz later this year.
