We are a strong supporter of the CSNN Alumni Association 

CSNN supports its graduates by supporting the CSNN Alumni Association. The CSNN Alumni Association provides useful industry information to its graduates, provides a venue for graduates to advertise their products and services, and most importantly provides a directory for the public to find a holistic nutritionist in their area. CSNN graduates who are members of the Alumni Association receive a 10% discount on CSNN continuing education workshops.

The CSNN Alumni Association also hosts an annual conference for holistic nutritionists. CSNN is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the annual Canadian Holistic Nutrition Conference. The conference draws members of the industry together to network, to educate one another, to share ideas, and to showcase products.


We built a Well in Africa with the Ryan’s Well Foundation

The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition is proud to announce its support to the Ryan’s Well Foundation. The Ryan’s Well Foundation began ten years ago with a six year old boy, Ryan, who, after learning in grade one that children around the world do not have access to the basic necessity of clean water, decided to do something about it. Since then, Ryan has dedicated himself to promoting awareness on the issue and raising funds to build wells in third world countries. To date The Ryan’s Well Foundation has built 484 wells in 16 countries. That’s 611,512 people who now have access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.

CSNN’s goal was to provide one African community with a fully operational well. Our branches have undertaken fundraising activities to raise funds for the well, which was be fully matched by CSNN head office.

CSNN is proud to announce that we were able to reach our fundraising goal as of November 2010, helping provide safe, clean drinking water to a community in Northern Uganda. We would like to thank everyone for your generous donations and to thank Linda Wagar for all of her hard work on this project.
