Mandatory Group Co-op/Practicum Sessions

Every fall semester, we are excited to host our Work Experience (aka Cooperative Education Placement) meetings for students graduating the following year. Pictured above, the team recently got together to plan the presentations and update the opportunities. The sessions allows students, in-class or online, near or far, to begin considering all of the options available to them. The mandatory Zoom meeting is for Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Vancouver campuses, as well as our Online Eastern and Pacific time zone programs. It is a comprehensive presentation with interactive engagement that begins the transition to level up from the classroom to the professional space. The IHN Co-op/Practicum team looks forward to working with more incredible students for the November 2022 convocation! All current students will get communications about the upcoming group sessions by the end of October!

We'll go through and are open for real-time engagement and questions about:

• The various professional settings where students can obtain their hours
• What students can expect from the Co-op/Practicum placement 
How students can turn their placement into a potential job opportunity
What students need to do to meet academic and Co-op/Practicum deadlines

Students emerge from IHN, ready to move in the direction of their passion; augment their knowledge base; build out their niche, and become leaders in the field of holistic nutrition. IHN's alumni and industry peers welcome new colleagues to support a brighter future.

Wildlife Products Are Being Traded Illegally

Can one of Canada’s most valuable endangered plants survive another plundering? In this article (3 minute read), we learn about the illegal trade of wild American ginseng. This well-known herb in natural medicine is coveted for its array of health benefits, from lowering blood sugar levels to reducing stress. This rare root is being harvested by poachers, smuggled across borders, and illegally sold online. Jean-François Dubois, a federal wildlife-enforcement officer, explains, “If we lose those wild populations, maybe we’ll lose something bigger than just a plant…maybe we will lose a drug that can save lives.”

Not just for JELL-O, gelatin is a colourless, flavourless, and translucent food ingredient. The first documented use of gelatin in food was in the 15th century in medieval Britain. Gelatin is a component of collagen, a material that is found in the bones, cartilage, and skin of animals, made almost entirely out of protein. The proteins in gelatin are known to be helpful in supporting the intestinal wall in our digestive systems. These proteins build and restore healthy mucosal lining making gelatin a great ingredient to use for gut health. Try this Gut-Healing Marshmellow recipe by IHN graduate Cait Mizzi.
