The Squamish Food Policy Council advises and makes recommendations to the District of Squamish Council, Mayor, and Staff on food issues in Squamish. Recommendations can range from program development to policy changes and implementation that all support to improve our local food system in Squamish.
We are comprised of community members across a wide spectrum of food related industries/sectors (i.e. individuals, nonprofits, and for profit). We function as a bridge between citizens and civic officials, coming together to advance municipal food policy and initiatives that benefit all Squamish citizens. The SFPC meets regularly to discuss and make recommendations to affect changes to current policies, facilitate new policy development related to the food system, hear presentations by community groups and experts engaged in food issues, educate residents, stimulate dialogue, initiate projects and partnerships, and have a good time while doing it.
