  Northern association of community councils

  Feb 2010 - Apr 2011

  Northern healthy foods initiative project coordinator

  In 2003, the Government of Manitoba, Federal Government and non-profit organizations collaborated on a document called the Northern Food Prices Report 2003. This report discusses the multi-faceted issues related to high food prices in northern Manitoba and more importantly discusses strategic options to address economic sustainability in northern communities. From this report, the Northern Healthy Foods Initiative (NHFI) was derived and launched in 2005. As NHFI Project Coordinator, I liaised with community members, program partners, and other professionals to create and maintain resources to guide food self-sufficiency in Northern Manitoba. I delivered presentations and workshops related to gardening, poultry production, food preservation, food safety and nutrition. Show less
