I'm still waiting for him to visit my neighbourhood so I can take him out for a falafel.

I am SO happy for all of you in Toronto! (I can't even get ONE children's museum in the Chicago area to do this). Just out of curiosity (and maybe immigration purposes [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]), does Canada ban nut products from the schools? I
Sara M., welcome! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
No, Canada doesn't ban peanut/tree nut products from schools country wide.
First it's a Province by Province thing (if the Province has a policy re anaphylaxis). Then, within the Province, it's a school board district by school board district thing.
In Ontario, where I live, a PA child has the *right* to a "peanut free" classroom, which is *good* if you want that and the children are eating in their classrooms (which my PA son did until 4th Grade - along with everyone else in the class).
You'll really find a broad mix of schools - "peanut free", "peanut safe", "reduce the risk".
The one my children currently attend, in Toronto, is called "reduce the risk", but to be honest with you, I don't see it being followed very well.
My son's classmates aren't supposed to bring peanut products in their lunches/snacks, but it does happen.
So, no, we're not a "peanut free" nation. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info! God, would it be SO hard for people just to ban nuts from school?! I think I'm really losing it, 'cause I'm starting to think nuts should be banned from the world (that and when I see a Mr. Peanut commercial on TV I actually want to physically harm him). Yep. Definitely losing it....

Sorry I started this thread without seeing the other thread on same topic by annamarie! I glanced but didnt see the same topic started...sorry!
No problem. Better to have things posted twice then not at all. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Sara M., that's okay, I often have the same thoughts about Mr. Peanut. Or, there was the time I threatened to EpiPen the Pillsbury Dough Boy and send him to Pillsbury but..... [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
