Water your house plants, bake some sourdough, finish knitting that scarf that’s now out of season.

Honestly, we don’t care – but don't attend a St. Patrick’s Day party.

The University District Safety Initiative and KFL&A Public Health Section 22 Order are currently in effect.

Food for thought. A private member's bill hopes to bring food literacy education to all Ontario classrooms. At 8:20, we'll hear from bill co-author Sarah Keyes w/ @FPCKFLA. #ldnont

Help us make Bill 216, the Food Literacy for Students Act a reality. Read more in this wonderful news article.

[The Whig-Standard @WhigStandard]

Kingston-developed private member's bill would be first in Canada to mandate food literacy education https://t.co/WZROdaFwq5

[Pathways to Education Kingston @PthwysKingston]

Yes we do!! Formal food literacy education will do so much for our students' health and wellbeing, plus offer valuable (transferable, employable) life skills! Support the bill here 👇

[Food Policy Council Kingston FL&A @FPCKFLA]

We need your support! Do you believe that experiential food literacy education should be part of the #OntarioCurriculum for grades 1-12? If so, please sign the petition in support of Bill 216: Food Literacy for Students Act https://t.co/LklKMagucV

[Food Policy Council Kingston FL&A @FPCKFLA]

We’re thrilled that Bill 216 “Food literacy for students act” has passed two legislative readings. This will mean grade 1-12 Students will have experiential food education in every grade! We worked closely with @darylkramp who is an absolute champion for this cause #PolicyWorks

[Mara Shaw @MaraShaw1]

First reading of a bill that I worked on with the @FPCKFLA to ensure all ON students receive experiential food skills education! Very exciting -- needs to come with funding to ensure it is properly staffed. Thank you @darylkramp for making this your PMB!
