Federal Government Launches Nutrition North Program

The federal government has launched a program to help bring food costs down in communities in the far north.

Subsidies are now available under the government's Nutrition North program.

David Stezenko is one of the people who is helping to co-ordinate the program in this region and hopes it will help bring healthy affordable food to remote communities.

The federal subsidy is expected to reduce transporation costs.
