Background

The Association’s roots trace back to Vancouver when a small group of health food retailers banded together to give one another mutual support and to provide people with information and services to create better health through good nutrition.  In May 1964, the first association, the Health Food Dealers Association, was formed. This group later became the Canadian Health Food Association in 1978.
