A Food Policy for Canada community hall upcoming
Food matters. The decisions we make as individuals, as a community and as a country about food have a direct impact on our health, environment, economy, and communities.
Working together, we can put more affordable, safe, healthy, food on tables across the country, while protecting the environment. The Government of Canada is asking Canadians for their views on what should be included in A Food Policy for Canada.
A Food Policy for Canada will provide a plan to reach food related goals that impact health, environment, culture, and the economy. A Food Policy for Canada will give us clear actions we can take right now to reach food related goals. A food policy is a way to fix problems related to the entire food system that includes the way food is produced, processed, delivered, and used.
Cranbrook Food Action, Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook and Interior Health will be partnering to host a Community Hall in Cranbrook. We want to bring diverse voices to the table to talk about food in Cranbrook so we can have our community’s opportunities and needs reflected in the development of this policy.
Join us at our Community Hall to share and explore how we can build a better food system in Cranbrook and across Canada.
Community Hall: A Food Policy for Canada September 14, at 7 p.m. Community Connections Society of Southeast BC at 209A 16th Avenue N., Cranbrook, V1C 5S8
We hope you will join us for this important community conversation. Please share this invitation with your networks.
“Collecting feedback from our region that highlights the unique benefits and challenges of our local food system is integral to achieving representation of rural and remote communities in the Canadian National Food Policy. With a National Food Policy in place, we hope that our local leaders will follow the Federal Government’s lead and make a a municipal and/or regional food policy for Cranbrook and the East Kootenay a priority,” said Tanya Malcolm, Kitchen Project Coordinator at Community Connections Society of SEBC.
