Do you want to ask your municipal candidates about their food security policies but don't know where to start?

Here are some great suggestions from the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council:

The Central Okanagan Food Policy Council is a group of citizens who are working towards a food secure Central Okanagan. Our website okanaganfood.com is being built as a hub of related information for all residents and organizations within the Central Okanagan.

We would appreciate your participation in answering a few questions which would be of interest to our constituents. These questions are a pared-down list of questions from several participants. The responses will be posted on our website starting this Wednesday (Nov 9, 2011).

Please reply with your name, district you are running in, and position you are running for.

• What do you think are the top priorities to ensure a food secure community?
• What are some ways you will support local farmers?
• What are your plans for a permanent, all-season farmers market, which is easily accessible by transit, pedestrian, and vehicular traffic.
• Would you change the regulations surrounding chickens and / or bees in urban areas?
• How are you going to increase the number of community gardens and farm-to-school programs?

Thank you on behalf of all Central Okanagan Food Policy Council members, along with all concerned residents.
