There will be a new label on the Egg McMuffin!

7/31/2019

In September, McDonald's Canada will be sporting the new label on their Egg McMuffin. Through their partnership with Egg Farmers of Canada, McDonald's will put a EQA label (Egg Quality Assurance) on their McMuffin sandwiches. For an egg to obtain a EQA certification they need to have met the Start Clean-Stay Clean and Animal Care program standards. 

“The EQA program is the culmination of decades of work building world-class standards in the Canadian egg industry. Those standards are upheld through our national programs that include inspections and third-party audits. We are pleased that McDonald’s Canada is displaying our EQA mark on their McMuffin sandwiches, showcasing their pride in Canadian eggs and the farmers that produce them.” - Roger Pelissero, Chair of Egg Farmers of Canada.

On Thursday, July 25, 2019, Ben Lobb, our local MP spent the afternoon with Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health. The afternoon started at the Ryan O’Reilly parade, a parade held in Goderich to honor the Stanley Cup winner, Ryan O’Reilly. Ben and other Gateway team members sported Hometown Heroes jerseys at the parade to show their support.

After the parade, Gateway’s summer students (Emma Warren and Shanna Cardno) Gateway’s President (Gwen Devereaux) and Gateway’s Administrative Lead (Sarah Versteeg) sat down with Ben to discuss some of the research being conducted at Gateway. Emma spoke about her food insecurity project that she is conducting with Valerie Steckle, another Gateway summer student, under the supervision of Professor Al Lauzon and Valencia Gaspard of the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development, University of Guelph. This project will examine food barriers faced by rural seniors and determine their potential impact on senior’s health and wellbeing. Shanna also described her summer project on farmer’s mental health and farmer resiliency across Huron, Perth, Grey and Bruce Counties.
​
Gateway would like to thank Ben for his time, support and passion for the health of his local community.

Testimonials

"As a foreign medical student, it is essential to have research on my resume so that I can secure a resident position in Canada after I graduate. Working at Gateway has allowed me to stay at home in the summers rather than doing research in an urban centre. Ultimately, Gateway has allowed me to pursue my interest in rural research in an environment that I am comfortable in, and a place that I one day hope to practice medicine. I would recommend Gateway to anyone who is interested in rural research as it is truly one of a kind" 

- Alex Conlon, Research Student 2018​​

"Gateway has provided me with the opportunity to have a great summer job in health care through Town and Country Support Services as a Home Support Exercise Instructor. This job gave me skills and experience working with older adults that I would not have otherwise had. Not only did it give me a unique experience to reference on my medical school application, but it also inspired my commitment to caring for older adults and their families."
​ 
- Dr. Alexandrea Peel, Gateway's Chair of Rural Senior Care

"During my time at Gateway in the summer of 2018, I experienced the inner workings of a successful not-for-profit organization and increased my awareness of the rural health discrepancies that communities like ours face. It allowed me to foster connections with knowledgeable members of the fields I'm passionate about, gain mentors, and most importantly, showed me what can be done when like-minded people come together and believe in their community"
