    Spring has Sprung in Simcoe County!

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
    We hope this message finds you safe and well. Many of us across Simcoe County are still feeling the effects of the recent ice storm — with downed trees, extended power outages, and a lot of clean-up still ahead. Our thoughts are with everyone navigating these challenges, and we’re grateful, as always, for the resilience and spirit of our community.

    Meanwhile, the rollercoaster of international trade — including the on-again, off-again tariffs from the U.S. — continues to affect our local producers and businesses. It’s yet another reminder of how important it is to strengthen and support our local systems, especially in uncertain times.

    Through it all, one thing remains clear: supporting local matters now more than ever. Whether it’s buying from local farmers, choosing regional products, or encouraging policy change that backs our homegrown economy, your actions help build a stronger, more resilient Simcoe County.

    With the federal election on the horizon, this issue of The Beet takes a closer look at a few key matters that directly impact food security for all residents of Simcoe County. From access to healthy, affordable food to support for local agriculture and food sovereignty — these issues deserve our attention and our voices.

    Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape a food system that works for everyone. We encourage you to stay informed, ask questions, and make your vote count.

    Let’s keep showing up for each other — and for the future we’re growing together.

    The Government of Canada is committed to giving children and youth the best possible start in life. A key part of this is making sure that children and youth have the healthy food they need to grow, play and learn.This is why the Government is working with provinces, territories and Indigenous partners and stakeholders to create a National School Food Program. This program will build on existing school food programs across the country and allow more children and youth to have healthy meals and snacks at school. This program is a part of the Government’s strategy to make life more affordable for the Canadians most affected by rising prices, including families.
