Agriculture and Food Systems- Engagement

Agriculture and food systems – Engagement to guide the Town of Hay River’s Healthy Communities Strategy

The Town of Hay River is creating a Healthy Communities Strategy and would like input on agriculture and food production priorities from community members and stakeholders. PlanIt North, a Yellowknife-based consulting firm, has been hired by the Town to lead this work. We want to learn from your experience in the agriculture and food sector, and to tie in your suggested priorities and actions into the town’s Healthy Communities Strategy.

Intended outcomes of this discussion

•  Increased Understanding: of a Healthy Communities Strategy and how it can support partnerships and collaboration in Hay River

•  Shared Definitions: of what 'health' means relative to agriculture and food production

•  Strategic Planning: to identify strategies for building on community assets and addressing gaps in the local agriculture and food sector
