2009-2010 MILESTONES
In 2009 the Manitoba Food Charter changed its name to Food Mat-ters Manitoba to reect our growing mandate and mission to en-gage Manitobans towards healthy, sustainable, and fair food for all.In addition to our ongoing food security projects, FMM undertook26 new projects and 5 major events in 2009-2010. The organiza-tion also conducted a comprehensive communications review anddeveloped a communications strategy in 2009. While the plan andkey audiences have been developed, we are currently seeking re-sources and partners to implement the strategy.Food Matters Manitoba is increasingly being recognized by thepublic, the media, other organizations, and various levels of gov-ernment as a source for food security information.FMM continues to diversify, and has branched into local economicanalysis, municipal food policy development, school outreach pro-grams, and Farm to Cafeteria activities.
