1 in 8 households are affected by food insecurity.
A permanent solution and action is required.
Please sign this petition in order for Mayor John Tory to create lasting solution to those affected by food uncertainty.
* Implement a Food Waste Ban to Supermarkets and restaurants
* Decrease the cost of tuition for University/College students
* Expanding the Ontario Basic Income Pilot to Toronto
* Affordable housing and childcare
* Providing Higher education and/or job training in the workplace for those who need it
Those affected by food Insecurity, are uncertain if they will have food that day; because often times they must pay for rent, medication, babysitting and other expenses.
Or even if they get food, it oftentimes is not nutritious, does not meet their dietary needs or is expired.
Implementing these initiatives will benefit Canadians and the economy in the long run
A nutritious and proper diet is essential for being healthy. Canadians should have access to affordable, accessible and nutritious food no matter their household or level of income.
By signing this issue we are one step closer to creating a permanent solution to the food Insecurity Crisis in Toronto
And hopefully, give all Canadians access to safe and nutritious food.
