Collège Boréal is stepping up its efforts toward food security in the North.
The Sudbury-based school is using $386,174 in federal funding to undertake a number of initiatives that will support the region’s agri-food industry.
"We understand that food insecurity is a significant challenge and is exacerbated by the impacts of climate change in Northern Ontario,” Daniel Giroux, president of Collège Boréal, said in a news release.
“That's why Collège Boréal is partnering with FedNor to support the region by working with communities, organizations, and businesses to learn about their food security goals and needs. Together, we're working to meet this challenge through joint action that builds on our shared efforts in food sovereignty."
