Have you ever thought about the FOOD you EAT?

Food Security means:

• Everyone has enough food to eat
• Everyone can access food in ways that maintain human dignity
• Everyone can afford and access healthy and culturally acceptable food
• Our food system produces food in ways that are sustainable
• We can feel confident about the quality and safety of our food

 The Price of Eating Well

Every year Health Units across Ontario visit grocery stores to determine the cost of healthy eating.  The Price of Eating Well 2014reports the results for the North Bay Parry Sound District.  Also check out The Price of Eating Well Infographic for a visual picture of our district's results. 

Resources

There are people in our district who have a hard time getting healthy food. Food Programs in the Nipissing District and Food Programs in the Parry Sound District list emergency food programs and delivery services available in our community.
