Some of the topics for discussion during the event are:
- The upcoming negotiations of Growing Forward Three (GF3);
- The ongoing review of evidence for Canada’s Food Guide;
- The next federal budget;
- Exploring the potential for a National Food Policy Council;
- Food Secure Canada’s upcoming Assembly in 2016.

The main event will take place from 12:30pm – 5pm at UQAM in the Pavillion Coeur des Sciences.
You can register here. The cost (which includes a networking lunch) is $25 for FSC members and students (with ID) and $40 for non-members. Due to limited space, priority will be given to FSC members.
