Healthy, affordable food is what enables our communities to thrive. I was very pleased to honour the Cobequid Food Security Network in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly for their selfless work in Sackville.
You can watch the recorded member statement below:
PAUL WOZNEY « » : When you can’t put food on the table, very little else matters, yet 30 per cent of Nova Scotians struggle with this fundamental necessity. Today I rise in recognition of the Cobequid Food Security Network, a collective dedicated to the noble cause of keeping our community fed.
The Cobequid Food Security Network is comprised of a number of charitable organizations, local businesses, libraries, health centres, and dedicated individuals. Their various programs have proven to be a vital resource to our constituency office, just as their services have proven vital to our citizens.
The Cobequid Food Security Network is planning a pop-up food market open to all this Saturday, March 1st from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Knox United Church in Lower Sackville, featuring deeply affordable food products. This event will serve as a viability test for an affordable food market in the Sackville area.
Speaker, I ask you all to join me in thanking the Cobequid Food Security Network for their service in pioneering affordable nutrition in our community.
