Taste of Nature Ignites Canadians’ Love For the Great Outdoors
#FindYourTasteOfNature Campaign to Benefit Parks CanadaCanadians are privileged with an abundance of beautiful natural space. Whether you enjoy hiking local trails, camping under the stars, or appreciate a leisurely stroll in the park, Canadians have an affinity for the great outdoors that is part of our national identity.
Taste of Nature, the most popular organic, Canadian-made snack bar brand in the country, believes in the power of nature to make us feel connected to something larger than ourselves. That’s why this Summer, Taste of Nature is encouraging Canadians to reconnect with the great outdoors and share a picture while exploring Canada’s beautiful natural landscapes. For every picture posted to Facebook and/or Instagram using the hashtag #FindYourTasteOfNature, $1 will be donated to Parks Canada* to help protect and present Canada’s natural heritage.
“At Taste of Nature, we have always believed that in nature, we feel part of a whole,” says Brianne Arnott, Marketing Director, Taste of Nature Foods Inc. “By encouraging Canadians to #FindYourTasteofNature this summer, we hope to reignite Canadians’ love of nature and highlight the deep, soul-satisfying benefit of connecting to Canada’s natural landscapes. We’re thrilled to be supporting Parks Canada so our nation can protect and enjoy our beautiful national parks for years to come.”

Made with love from simple ingredients, Lower in Sugar bars are non-GMO verified, gluten-free, vegan and kosher.
“While the majority of Canadians – 69% – are seeking ways to reduce their sugar intake**, Taste of Nature understands that they are not willing to compromise on taste,” continues Ms. Arnott. “That’s why we’ve developed the new Taste of Nature Lower in Sugar products to satisfy Canadians’ taste buds, while delivering a healthy, lower-in-sugar snack.”
