Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week 

Save the date! Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week is Oct 5-9, 2026

Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week™ (CMAW) is an educational and promotional campaign presented by the Canadian Malnutrition Task Force (CMTF), a flagship initiative of the Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS). CMTF aims to reduce malnutrition across all health care settings and populations, including adults and children, by increasing awareness of malnutrition, building capacity to enhance nutrition care and advocating for food and nutrition care best practices, standards and policies.

The aim of CMAW is to enhance learning of clinicians, healthcare providers, health leaders and consumers around malnutrition through a series of webinars delivered by leading experts and the use of supporting resources. The theme for Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week 2026 "Lead the Change" will focus on addressing malnutrition, food and nutrition care across adult and pediatric acute and community care settings with a focus on increasing awareness, strengthening data, research and advocating for policy and best practices.
