To add to Marg Hedley's information about the course at Guelph:

Simon Fraser University in Vancouver has offered distance education courses 
for more than 25 years.  Thousands of students take courses every 
semester on a trimester basis. We have two nutrition courses 
available at the moment as well as a complete Health & Fitness 
Certificate Program aimed mostly at fitness instructors.  
The university pays for long distance contact 
with the tutor for anyone in Canada.  Students outside the country pay 
their own long distance telephone charges. Call toll-free 1-800-242-1201 or
1-800-663-1411.  The Simon Fraser (SFU) courses are also available from the 
Open Learning Agency (1-800-663-9711) for whom we reserve a number of 
spaces each semester.  Admission requirements are less stringent at 
the Open Learning Agency than at SFU (or UBC).  

I have to fess up that I write the SFU nutrition courses.

I understand that Athabasca University in Alberta (1-800-561-6826) also 
offers nutrition courses used by dietitians for upgrading.  

University of British Columbia has 2 very good food science courses 
by distance education.  Call 604-822-6565 collect for more information.

P.S.  This information is all in the Nutrition Resources Guidebook 
from Dial-a-Dietitian.

Regards
Jean
