Thanks Angie Seth for always making space for discussing the root causes of issues -- it's much appreciated and where the conversations must go. #respect

The remarkable roots community food centre! In Thunder Bay to celebrate the opening of a stunning addition to their already beautiful space. Care + thoughtfulness in evidence everywhere. Community Food Centres Canada is proud to work alongside this committed group of community builders. Congrats to all involved.

This is going to be fun! Can’t wait. Congratulations to all the grads and the multitudes who helped them get over the finish line. Look forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday!

Andi’s inspiring new book — her 10th! — hits so many beautiful, hopeful notes. See you at its launch this afternoon. You’ll be energized and leave full of good ideas and questions for all those mayoralty candidates that come a knockin! #thecityisus

Not for the feint of heart this bookselling thing. Big love to all the indies, particularly my absolute fave Type Books and all the smart, thoughtful people who make it tick. ❤️

A compelling, hopeful read for all, but fingers crossed the slate of TO mayoralty candidates use a highlighter pen: Ana Bailão Josh Matlow Mitzie Hunter Brad Bradford✌️ Gil Penalosa #Cities4Everyone Celina Caesar (like the salad)-Chavannes (sh-van) (toronto.ca/city-governmen…)

.Community Food Centres Canada won’t be April fooled by the word “affordability.” For the people who access our centres and programs the word is pure spin, an attempt by government to sanitize reality—a reality characterized by stress, anxiety, poor health and diminished lives. Not a good prank

Nutrition month (March) is a poignant reminder of our abject failure to deliver on the right to food in Canada. While we landed a healthier food guide, MILLIONS can’t afford it. Join Community Food Centres Canada in our fight to create a country free of hunger and, yes, good nutrition for all!

Very sad to hear about the passing of Joe Virgona. A good friend and staunch supporter of the Community Food Centre (Community Food Centres Canada) movement. Sending lots of love to the Virgona/Fiesta Farms family. Joe was always up to good mischief. #oneofakind #rip

Thanks Josh Smee Food First NL for speaking out so clearly on the impossible circumstances faced by so many of our neighbours + squarely centring the conversation in the public policy realm. Whatever became of build back better? #incomematters #foodisahumanright #justicenotcharity

Thanks CBC Radio
for having Community Food Centres Canada on to talk food (justice not charity), public policy and mobilizing for social change. I just spoke with Kitchener, Thunder Bay, London, Yellowknife, Windsor, Victoria and Kamloops. Big props to all you early risers! #foodisahumanright

We need to set a clear target to reduce food insecurity. It will get us focus, accountability and action. All of which are desperately needed.

The Ford government has elevated bafflegab to an art form when it suggests Ontario Works provides people with financial security. Laughable except for the havoc it’s wreaking on people’s lives. Double the rates immediately and then let’s talk. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

In the din of the food charity noise, I appreciated the opportunity to speak with Ismaila Alfa Metro Morning about the need to frame food insecurity as a poverty issue with solutions rooted in public policy. Have a listen. #foodisahumanright Community Food Centres Canada cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

“Food brings people and people bring ideas and ideas bring strength to our communities,” says Rebecca Sylvestre, Manager of Turnor Lake and Birch Narrows Community Food Centre
