Food insecurity has now officially been declared an emergency in Mississauga.
On Wednesday, city council passed a motion recognizing that a significant number of its residents lack regular access to enough safe and nutritious food.
“This formal declaration is a monumental step in recognizing that food insecurity has gone beyond crisis levels and is not a temporary issue. Food insecurity has been affecting too many residents for far too long,” the City of Mississauga said in a news release.
