Pleasure to join @cathmckenna, @fordnation, @JeanYip3, @gary_srp, @Christina_Mitas and @nickmantas_ to announce funding for the Bridletowne Neighbourhood Centre.

Engaging in anti-oppression, being a catalyst for change and solidifying a strong foundation - such inspiring priorities of @peelfoodcouncil Strategic Plan! https://t.co/QNmNVQk9VB. What a great example of collaborative action creating paths to strengthen #LocalFoodSystems!

A new record in my #TTC travel books: 2h25m to get from Finch Stn to King Stn. Need more investment/budget allocated to change this dismal state of #PublicTransit in Toronto!

Resident-led Bathurst-Finch Women's Group hosts a great and lively neighbourhood festival at the Bathurst-Finch Hub (supported by @UnisonHCS_BF)! @UWGreaterTO #CommunityComesTogether

This reminds us of how the food on our plates relies on people that deserve better recognition and rights.
We have a role in addressing this reality as we work towards a more just food system.

The destruction of [traditional cultures of] Indigenous peoples was intentional. Reparations are needed in the form of legitimizing their ways of being, among other things. Incredible leadership from @SPCSudbury on a #foodpolicy4canada at #ResettingTheTable2018

[Food Secure Canada @FoodSecureCAN]

What a great vibrant evening it was yesterday! Thanks to all that have contributed in organizing this event including the FSC Youth Caucus 🙌
