The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada hosted a webinar May 23, 2014, which detailed strategies for working with the media as a non-profit organization.

Is Nova Scotia Eating Local? and if not... Where is our food coming from? was published in July 2010 in a collaboration between the Noval Scotia Federation of Agriculture and the Ecology Action Centre. Authors Jennifer Scott and Marla MacLeod explored how far food was traveling before landing on the plates of Nova Scotians and what percentage of the food was locally sourced. The report provides important data to support the promotion of Nova Scotian food and food economies in the province.

The BC Food Systems Network is a member-based grassroots organization founded in 1999. We have established a membership model that ensures that monetary status is not a barrier to participation, though membership fees help to fund the core activities of the Network. This membership outline is a living document that will continue to evolve with the Network.

This document was shared as part of the Provincial / Territorial Networks meeting in April 2013, where the discussion focused on membership models.
