RENSEIGNEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX En 2004, la ville du Grand Sudbury et le Service de santé publique de Sudbury et du district ont adopté la Charte alimentaire de la Ville du Grand Sudbury. La Charte alimentaire, a été créée par le Food Security Network (qui n’existe plus), et explique comment la région de Sudbury va insister sur l’alimentation dans la communauté par le biais de la recherche, et en adoptant des politiques et programmes portant sur les sujets suivants : 1) la santé et le bien-être de la population; 2) le développement communautaire; 3) les investissements dans le système régional alimentaire; et 4) la mise au point d’un système alimentaire durable.
En 2013, on a créé le Conseil sur la politique alimentaire du Grand Sudbury (CPAGS) pour aider à faire progresser la Charte alimentaire. Le conseil aide les gens travaillant sur tous les aspects du système alimentaire y compris l’agriculture, le traitement des aliments, l’environnement et la santé à communiquer entre eux. Vous trouverez le mandat du conseil sur notre site web.

CE QUE NOUS FAISONS Réseautage – servir de forum aux intervenants afin de discuter de problèmes touchant l’alimentation. • Organiser des activités publiques pour donner l’occasion de faire connaître son opinion sur la politique alimentaire et les priorités.
Coordination – encourager la planification, la collaboration, la coordination et la communication stratégiques entre les intervenants du système alimentaire. • Travailler avec les personnes et organismes pour examiner la possibilité de développer un carrefour alimentaire local.
Politique – évaluer, influencer et recommander des politiques relatives à l’alimentation aux gouvernements et autres intervenants.
• Faire connaître les meilleures pratiques de jardinage communautaire afin d’aider son expansion. • Donner son opinion pendant le processus d’examen du plan officiel pour s’assurer de ne pas oublier le système alimentaire dans l’élaboration du nouveau plan officiel.
Programmes – encourager les programmes et services en évitant de dédoubler le rôle ou le travail des intervenants existants. • On a commencé l’évaluation du système alimentaire communautaire.
Liaison – communiquer avec les autres intervenants du système alimentaire régional et au-delà. • Rester membre de Sustain Ontario et du Réseau pour une alimentation durable.
