La Ronge Community Food Assessment and Food Assets Resource released!

A community food assessment is about bringing together people and organizations to look at a broad range of food-related resources and concerns in order to give direction to actions that will improve food security in the community.

Check out the La Ronge Community Food Assessment and La Ronge Food Assets resource and other community food assessment resources here.

• Thought About Food workshops and Community Food Assessments have been conducted within the Province. FSS has trained facilitators available.
