A big thanks to the almost 80 organizations who have filled in our Ontario Food Policy Priorities survey (learn more about this process here)!

The survey officially closes today. However, because this survey is our way of gathering organizations who would like to work together to develop provincial policy pieces, we invite those who have not yet filled it out to do so before October 18th. We will begin our analysis of the survey on October 15th, but we will incorporate your input into our draft policy briefs if you fill out the survey by the 18th.

If you’re interested in joining one of our Networks, you’re encouraged to fill out the survey and/or please contact networks@sustainontario.com, and please mark your calendars for our upcoming Network meetings!
