Access to healthy food is essential for community well-being and economic growth. That is why the Government of Canada is taking action by supporting local initiatives that build capacity and strengthen regional food systems across the Yukon.
Today, Dr. Brendan Hanley, Member of Parliament for the Yukon, on behalf of the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a contribution of over $1.6 million in five infrastructure projects to grow, preserve, prepare and supply food in the Yukon.
Contributing to projects like these aligns with CanNor's goal to support innovative, practical solutions to address food security in the North, including strengthening northern food sectors by increasing the capacity of local producers.
