The Food Policy Council for Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington is seeking up to four individuals to join the Council.

“The Food Policy Council (FPC) for KFL&A is working to create a healthy, food-secure region with sustainable local agriculture and equitable access to adequate, healthy food,” says Susan Belyea, co-chair of the FPC.
