Healthy Food Basket comes to council

The Northwestern Health Unit says there are things City Council can do

to help people live more comfortably on a fixed income.

Health Unit dietician Chelsea Lecain made a presentation to council to
coincide with the Week of Action Against Poverty.

She says their healthy food basket program shows prices have
gone up higher in the Kenora area than anywhere else in Ontario.

Lecain says its costs about 918 dollars to feed a family of four, based on
the healthy food basket.
