FSC Receives McConnell Funding for a Sustainable and Local Food Network

We are pleased to announce that The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation will be supporting Food Secure Canada in convening a learning and action network of organizations working to strengthen sustainable local and regional food systems.  We see this network as a fantastic opportunity to learn from each other and increase our collective impact on the food system.

The first in-person meeting of the network will take place at the Food Secure Canada Assembly in Edmonton on November 5 (see here for the Call for Workshops and Speakers).   An initial conference call for the Sustainable and Local Food Network will be scheduled for late summer.  Stay tuned and sign up for our newsletter for details!
