"I move that Calgary City Council recognize the Calgary Food Policy Council."

RE: Establishment of a Calgary Food Policy Council (a voluntary citizen body with formal links to the City system)

Objectives
1. Recognize the Calgary Food Policy Council
2. Community Food System Assessment

The simple, basic, no frills, fundamental motion:


"I move that Calgary City Council recognize the Calgary Food Policy Council."

After this, all the great ideas that make up a FPC can be added, as you can see below sig file in the minutes from Vancouver Council, but here is how it looks, Calgary style:


"THAT, in order to provide leadership in developing a just and sustainable food system for the City of Calgary that fosters equitable food access, nutrition, community development and environmental health, Council recognize the Calgary Food Policy Council (a voluntary citizen body with formal links to the City system) with a mandate to act as an advisory and policy development body."


Calgary has a Food Policy Council... We are asking Calgary City Council to recognize the CFPC. Upon recognition, the CFPC will coordinate/conduct a community food system assessment (see below signature file). After the assessment, we begin to target those areas of our local food system that require progressive policy in order to become more efficient, fair, just and secure.

Respectfully,

Paul Hughes
Chair, Calgary Food Policy Council
