B.      The Canadian Food Summit: February 7 & 8, Metro Toronto Convention Centre

Taking its lead from the ambitious research agenda of the Centre for Food in Canada (CFIC), the Canadian Food Summit 2012 offers you an outstanding opportunity to hear from leaders around the world and join in the discussion on the future of food in Canada as we move forward in creating a Canadian Food Strategy.

Hosted by Galen G. Weston, Executive Chairman of Loblaw Companies and Anne Golden, President and CEO of The Conference Board of Canada, this event features representation from across the Canadian food system. You will participate with them in a lively and important dialogue about safe and healthy food, food security, and food sustainability. Summit delegates will be the first to hear several groundbreaking research reports from the Centre for Food in Canada. No other event in Canada will offer such a comprehensive analysis of the state of food in Canada or the first steps toward a vision for the future.
