Food Day Canada celebrates the country's meals and what makes them

The nation is celebrating Food Day Canada this weekend, to show support for all the industries that make meals possible.

Karley Rumpel, Public Trust Specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, details just what the plan is to broadcast that to the general public.

"Food Day Canada is an opportunity to celebrate our farmers, ranchers, agri-businesses, and cooks that produce and contribute to Canadian cuisine and to encourage Canadians across the nation to celebrate."

"In Saskatchewan, we're really proud to produce safe, healthy, and affordable food for people at home and around the world. So celebrating Food Day Canada really helps connect consumers with where their food comes from by highlighting our farmers and ranchers that grow the products that we serve right on our own dinner tables."

Events will be happening in some cities, with eveyone else getting the option to join in through social media.

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
