The Rural and Northern Lens The Rural and Northern Lens was created by the AMO Northern and Rural Working Group in 2006, after noting that many of the challenges facing rural and northern communities had one commonality - a lack of forethought about the consequences of applying a one-size-fits-all approach to a specific policy area. |
Best Practices in Local Food The objective of the study is to provide municipal decision makers with guidance on how to align municipal activities with the expectations outlined in Bill 36 and build on local food innovations and experiences in Ontario and other jurisdictions. |
