World Food Day commemorates the foun-
ding of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.) in Quebec
City in 1945. The purpose of World Food Day
is to foster awareness of global food and
hunger issues.
World Food Day activities in Ontario are
organized under the auspices of the Ontario
World Food Day Co-Ordinating Committee,
the provincial section of the World Food Day
Association of Canada.
The Ontario Coordinating Committee was
established two years ago and includes
representatives from: Agriculture Canada;
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food;
the Canadian Red Cross Society, Ontario Divi-
sion; The Canadian Council for International
Co-operation; Canadian Universities Services
Overseas; The Daily Bread Food Bank; The
University of Guelph; UNICEF
of UNICEF Ontario;
World Vision of Canada in addition to many
other organizations.
One of the major responsibilities of the On-
tario Coordinating Committee is the develop-
ment, production and distribution of educa-
tional resource materials focusing on a yearly
theme. The 1986 theme is "Food, Water and
Fisheries" and over 1400 educational kits
geared to elementary level, secondary level
and community groups have been produced.
Kits can be ordered free of charge from Coor-
dinating Committee in Toronto or from more.
than a dozen regional resource centres across
Ontario.
Ontarians are being encouraged to become
more aware of global food issues and to take
a more active role in the search • for solutions,
as well as to make contributions of money or
volunteer effort to any of the organizations in-
volved in food -related activities.
