Our Dietary Staff

I am Ranchana and I am the Nutrition co-op student at Harbour View Haven for the summer. I am in my second year of Acadia’s Nutrition Program. Our residents are the heart of Harbour View Haven and ensuring that they receive the greatest care is the top priority for everyone at HVH.

With hopes of recruiting the best possible candidates the Dietary department; the Director of

Dietetics, the Food service manager and myself as a part of my Co-op work term project,

attended a Job Fair at Days Inn on the 26th of May to recruit the candidates for the Food Service department.

Food is essential to life, and it is important that our food not only has flavour but is also made with love. It may be difficult to believe, the emotions we feel while cooking have an impact on the taste of our food. We all carry distinct energy with us, which varies based on our emotions. Regardless of whether our energy is negative or positive, it is always emanated to the environment through our hearts. Similarly, whatever feeling we experience while cooking is passed to the food we prepare.

Anything served by our mothers has a distinct flavour that we don't receive from

other foods. I like to believe it's because she puts all of her love and affection for us into the meals she cooks for us. Our dietary staff does the same to ensure that our residents feel loved and cared for through their meals, and we wish to recruit new team members to our dietary staff who will care for and love them as much as the rest of our team.
