Summary
This report outlines Toronto Food Policy Council (TFPC) activities during 2010 and early 2011, with special attention to TFPC activities supporting Toronto's Food Strategy.
This report also updates the Board of Health on the activities of the TFPC in fulfilling its Terms of Reference, which are set by the Board of Health. Members of the Toronto Food Policy Council and staff from Toronto Public Health (TPH) have revised the Terms of Reference (Attachment 1) to reflect a new committee and executive structure, as well as a proposed governance structure that situates the Toronto Food Policy Council as the community reference group for the Food Strategy. Most current members of the Toronto Food Policy Council were appointed by the Board of Health in 2007 for three-year terms. The terms for all members have now expired, and new members need to be appointed by the Board of Health (Attachment 2).
