The Northwestern Ontario Director of Local Food for
Local People spoke to the Federal Agricultural Commitee
recently.
Emo Resident Kim Jo Bliss says they outlined the need

Bliss would also like to see national legislation for

Bliss says they expect to hear back soon from
Agricultural Commitee Chair and Thunder Bay Rainy River MP
Ken Boshcoff.
