Food System. The “food system” includes everything and everybody that’s involved from seed to table and
beyond. It includes growing, producing, processing, transporting, distributing, selling, buying, preparing,
eating and disposing of food waste. When you think of these steps you can see how “food system” thinking
can be used for school curriculum links in math, science, social sciences and reading. Local food can also be
considered in the school’s food environment like the food used for fundraising or hot meal programs. Visit
foodcoreLGL.ca, read the Food Charter, scroll through the Food Inventory and see the School Toolkit.
Lyme Disease is Preventable. Ticks that may carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease are now found
throughout our region. As temperatures rise above 4°C ticks become active and begin to look for a blood
meal. While not all ticks carry the bacteria, if an infected tick bites you and remains attached for over 24
Upcoming Events in June hours you may be at an increased risk of getting Lyme disease. Lyme disease is preventable. Always do a
tick check when you return from the outdoors and remove ticks promptly. For more information visit
