Timeline

More healthy and affordable food

Five years after implementing the local food system in this neighbourhood, agencies are taking stock of their progress and results with a process to measure the impact of these actions on neighbourhood residents.

From the start, the Local Food System has targeted multiple goals: promote food self-sufficiency among neighbourhood residents; encourage healthy eating; develop people’s food skills; and provide access to healthy, varied and affordable food products.

Discover more about their evaluation process (which is supported by Dynamo) to determine how well the community grocery store has been aligned with the project’s initial goals.
