The Manitoba Food Charter moves forward

The Manitoba Food Charter was released recently at the rural forum in Brandon. Today, it was the subject of a day long workshop in Winnipeg. It is gaining support and the momentum for its adoption is increasing. For more information go to http://food.cimnet.ca/cim/43C1_4T97T3T7.dhtm or email to mbfoodcharter@yahoo.ca
