Document Summary
Slide 59: outcomes of the project: trained food costers in northern communities, methodology guide for food costing in northern canada, extensive media coverage, reaction from corporation and government. Image of letter from edward kennedy (president and ceo of northwest company) to diana bronson (executive director of food secure canada) (cid:862)dear ms. bro(cid:374)so(cid:374), I have read your recent report on food costing in the north with interest. At north west we take our community role seriously and place it on equal footing to serving individual customers. We find that honest and open community engagement is an invaluable approach to understanding different perspectives and the best range of potential solutions. In the context i am disappointed that food secure canada made no attempt to seek information or insights from our organization. Ironically, our lead community relations specialist was in nunavut during the week your report was released, working as an active participant within the nunavut food security coalition.
