News from Sustain Ontario

Sustain Ontario’s Food Literacy Working Group submitted a Proposal to the Ministry of Education in July 2023 outlining recommendations for the government to further advance food literacy in Ontario. We await a reply from the Ministry of Education.

Meanwhile, OHEA members can now read the Proposal as posted on the Sustain Ontario site here.

We were proud to represent OHEA as one of 29 organizations involved and thrilled to work closely with like-minded professionals  across the province.
