Farm to Cafeteria Canada and its partners, including Sustain Ontario, are developing an Evaluation Framework for Farm to School in Canada. The purpose of this process is to identify priority outcomes and indicators for farm to school programs that would be valuable to measure.

Please join any of our four 1.5-hour bilingual meetings to help us refine outcomes and indicators and discuss how to measure the impacts of farm to school programs:

Thursday, November 19 at 1:00 pm EST – Environment
Thursday, November 26 at 1:00 pm EST – Public Health
Tuesday, December 1 at 1:00 pm EST – Education and Learning
Tuesday, December 8 at 1:00 pm EST – Community Economic Development

Each session will include a very short introduction after which participants will separate into english and french breakout groups for in-depth discussion. An agenda with items for discussion will be sent to participants closer to the event (once we have analyzed Round 2 data). Here is a quick reminder about our process to develop an Evaluation Framework.
