Ep. 21: Food Insecurity in Canada's North (Patreon)

According to the WHO, food security is “when all people, at all times, have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.” In Canada's north, food access and affordability are critical issues—for many Indigenous communities in particular—and government subsidies seem to only go so far. In this week's episode, Madeleine Redfern, mayor of Iqaluit (Nunavut's capital city), discusses her territory's challenges with food insecurity and how the 'Nutrition North' subsidy program might be improved.
