Food Matters Manitoba and our northern partners have held annual Northern Havest Forums in Thompson in 2007, 2008, and 2009 with over 100 northerners sharing skills and knowledge.
In March 2009, northern grocers joined community food security organizations, the Manitoba Food Charter and Bayline Regional Roundtable in Thompson and The Pas to identify ways to increase access to affordable, healthy foods in northern Manitoba. This project builds on the 2003 Northern Food Prices Report and works towards the overall goal of decreasing retail costs and increasing the availability of affordable and healthy foods in northern Manitoban communities. Grocers are new partners in recent community and government efforts to increase northern food security. This report outlines the process and findings of the 2009 Northern Grocers’ Forums, as well as several opportunities for action.
