UN Special Rapporteur: Hunger is not a game

The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Mr. Olivier de Schutter, will be arriving in Canada Saturday 5 May (until 16 May) to look into Canada’s record on the right to food. He will be meeting with government officials and a broad cross-section of civil society groups concerned with the right to food, as well as with Aboriginal peoples.

Food Matters across the Province of Alberta


Albertans are leaders, and with that leadership comes a provincial responsibility. Our province has a responsibility to ensure we can grow and produce food that will feed our own people. No different than our commitment to safe communities, health care and education, all Albertans deserve access to enough nutritious food to maintain an active and healthy life.
