The Great Big Crunch is a special day of good food education, ending with a massive, synchronized bite into a crunchy Ontario apple or carrot to celebrate. In 2015, more than 5,500 students in 26 schools in the Thunder Bay area participated. The event is part of a nationwide initiative started by FoodShare Toronto, brought to Thunder Bay schools through a partnership between Roots to Harvest and the Thunder Bay chapter of the Canadian Red Cross.
