  • “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.

    www.odph.ca [email protected] @RDsPubHealthON November 24, 2020 MPP Daryl Kramp, 8 Dundas St. W Napanee, ON K7R 1Z4 [email protected] Dianne Dowling, Chair Food Policy Council for KFL&A [email protected], [email protected] Dear MPP Kramp and Ms. Dowling: Re: Support for Bill 216 – Food Literacy for Students Act, 2020 Ontario Dietitians in Public Health (ODPH), the independent and official voice of Registered Dietitians working in Ontario’s public health system offers our support for Bill 216 – Food Literacy for Students Act, 2020. ODPH’s mission is to advance public health nutrition through member and partner collaboration in order to improve population health and health equity locally and provincially. Food literacy is an important life skill encompassing much more than food and cooking skills1 and is essential for a solid foundation of healthy eating behaviours. We are pleased that Bill 216 will require school boards to offer experiential food literacy education to all Ontario students in grades 1 through 12. This requirement in the Ontario curriculum will ensure that all children and youth develop vital skills to inform food choices throughout their lives. We know that using hands-on, experiential learning about food contributes significantly to increasing vegetable and fruit consumption for students aged 4-18 years2. As well, youth (18-23 years) who have self-perceived cooking skills are more likely to have positive nutrition-related outcomes 10 years later (i.e., more frequent preparation of meals including vegetables, and less frequent consumption of fast food)3. The benefits of food literacy and cooking programs extends beyond healthy eating behaviours.

  • Sustainontario.Com Mr. Daryl Kramp
    Mr. Daryl Kramp - Member for Hastings - Lennox and Addington Room 269, Legislative Building Queen’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A8 January 13, 2021 Re: Bill 216 – Food Literacy for Students Act Dear Mr. Kramp, On behalf of Sustain Ontario and Sustain’s Ontario Edible Education Network I’m writing to express our enthusiastic support for Bill 216, the Food Literacy for Students Act. We would like to start by expressing a big thank you for introducing this important Bill into the Ontario Legislature. Sustain Ontario is a province-wide, cross-sectoral alliance that promotes healthy food and farming. Our mission is to provide coordinated support for productive, equitable and sustainable food and farming systems that support the health and wellbeing of all people in Ontario, through collaborative action. Sustain Ontario hosts the Ontario Edible Education Network, which supports individuals and organizations across the province to share resources, ideas, and experience and to better undertake food literacy efforts to get children and youth eating, growing, cooking, celebrating, and learning about healthy, local and sustainably produced food. In 2016 Sustain Ontario provided feedback to inform the Ontario Ministry of Education’s Community- Connected Experiential Learning Policy Framework. We shared how food and hands-on food literacy education can act as powerful catalysts for students to acquire the academic skills and personal skills that contribute to long-term success including critical thinking, innovation, collaboration, problem- solving, numeracy, literacy, communications, and thinking about complex issues including health, the environment, the economy, and our place in the broader food system. We also spoke about how those who provide experiential food-based learning in the province regularly confirm that hands-on experiences that let students connect with food are exciting, engage students who are less enthusiastic about school than others, and help make learning real.

  • Toronto City Summit Alliance Steering Committee
    For immediate release Politicians urged to tackle traffic woes 87% of residents say public transit should be regional spending priority Toronto – April 29, 2014 – On the eve of a new provincial budget, a majority of residents in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) say they are more likely to vote for politicians who support new, dedicated dollars to get us moving. That’s the message CivicAction and a coalition of nearly two dozen business, labour, health, community, and environmental groups are delivering to Ontario MPPs and party leaders. The group points to the results of an April Angus Reid Forum poll* showing that 87% of GTHA residents want to see transportation as a regional spending priority, and 83% said they would more likely support new taxes or fees if they were put into a dedicated fund for transportation. Half of the GTHA’s elected officials - including more than 50% of MPPs across the three major political parties - have signed CivicAction’s “Get a Move On” pledge that calls for dedicated, efficient, and sustainable investment in our regional transportation priorities. They have been joined by thousands of GTHA residents. **See the full list below of politicians who have signed the CivicAction pledge. CivicAction and its partners are looking to all of Ontario’s party leaders to be clear on how they will invest in the next wave of transportation improvements for the region – both in the spring budget and in their party platforms. Quotes: “We cannot pass the buck for our aging infrastructure to the next generation,” says Sevaun Palvetzian, CEO of CivicAction.
