Northern Food Network Webinar Core Themes on Northern Food Security (test)
The Northern Food Network (NFN), which was a network developed through Food Secure Canada in 2010 and ran for 5 years, is being revived with AICBR and we invite you to be apart of it. We are proposing to host bi-monthly webinars (with teleconference options available) focused around some core themes of Northern food security. Given the current federal opportunities, these webinars will have a policy relevance and speakers from diverse areas of health, environment, agriculture, and food security will be invited to present. We are committed to making these webinars relevant, discussion-focused and action-oriented while maintaining flexibility, so themes may evolve as different priorities arise.
NFN WEBINAR #2: Tuesday April 25th 10-11:30 (PST) with guests from Food First Newfoundland and Labrador and Food Matters Manitoba

The Northern Food Network's first webinar welcomed over 60 guests from across the country and two guest speakers from different regions of the North. Dexter MacRae gave a presentation on behalf of the team at the Tr'ondëk Hwëch’in First Nations Teaching and Working Farm, sharing insights from the process of the farm school's development and recent success in Dawson City, Yukon; we then heard from Kukik Baker on behalf of her team at the Arviat Wellness Centre about the many inspiring community-driven, on-the-land, experiential programs in Arviat, Nunavut.
