Vincent Ke has managed to get a private member’s bill
through the legislature, designating the first Saturday immediately before the
August Civic Holiday as Food Day Ontario.
“Promoting local food and our agri-food sector will
strengthen and enhance Ontario’s economy overall,” said Keith Currie, president
of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
“Food Day Ontario also serves as another focal point to
promote food literacy and food access, both important aspects of improving the
overall health of our province,” he said.
