Nipissing and Area Food Charter officially launched

There’s now information on what you can do to help create a healthy, sustainable food system for the Nipissing area.

It’s called the Nipissing and Area Food Charter and it was officially launched Tuesday.

Erin Reyce says they encourage everyone to visit their website.

Reyce is a Public Health Dietitian with the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit.

She says the website gives everyone different ideas on how they can promote the Food Charter.

She says everyone fits into one of the categories of eaters, growers, decision makers and organizations and schools.

Reyce says if you visit their website, the charter shows where you fit in and what you can do.

She adds the first step to really get this going is by getting endorsements, and that’s already underway.
