Working Group - Municipal Policy & Urban Innovation in Food

It is vital that the vision and actions for our collective work over the next decade leverage not only intergenerational experiences and knowledge, but also youth leadership. Each working group will be led by a facilitation team composed of one person from the FSC Youth Caucus or Meal Exchange, in partnership with one person from an organization with specific expertise on the topic.

Facilitation teams will guide conversations drawing out the wisdom present in the room, using a structure that will offer the opportunity to highlight successes and unearth what is holding us back around each topic.  Rather than acting as a mandate-setting body, these breakout groups are oriented towards help build momentum and a shared vision to step up the action in the next 1, 5, and 10 years.

Facilitation team:

• Virginie Lavallée Picard, Food Systems Coordinator, City of Victoria
• Youth Facilitator: Ashlyn Brownell, University of New Brunswick
