The Nipissing and Area Food Roundtable is looking for Food Champions.

The roundtable, which is carrying forward the Nipissing and Area Food Charter‘s vision, was formed in June.

They work on different initiatives to promote a healthy and sustainable food system.

Food Champions, who have an interest in food systems, food literacy, community gardens, local food co-ops, food policy, social equity and social media are welcome to get involved.

Those interested can contact info@nipissingareafood.ca or Kendra Patrick at kendra.patrick@nbpsdhu.ca or 705-474-1400 ext. 2532 for more information.

The Nipissing and Area Food Charter supports creating a healthy and sustainable food system for Nipissing District and Area.

Seven municipalities (Chisholm, Powassan, Mattawa, North Bay, West Nipissing, Nipissing and Bonfield), along with Nipissing First Nation and many local organizations and community members have supported the Food Charter and it’s principles.
