Food Affordability & Insecurity

Each year Renfrew County and District Health Unit monitors food affordability in Renfrew County and District. Some people are unable to securely access food due to financial constraints, resulting in food insecurity. Food insecurity is a serious public health problem.

Horton residents can take action and provide written materials containing their knowledge of seeds, plant propagation and grafting, food preparation, food preservation and cost-efficient recipes to the Township by e-mailing foodsecurity@hortontownship.ca. This information will be posted on this page for others knowledge.
