With the support of MP Gord Johns of Courtenay – Alberni, the BCAFM is bringing a petition forward to the House of Commons asking the Government of Canada to help expand the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) across the country. The FMNCP connects us with community organizations and BCAFM member farmers’ markets to provide farmers’ market coupons to lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors.
We are calling on you for your support in signing this petition to increase funding for the FMNCP! This calls for the federal government to provide matching funds for all provincial FMNCPs in operation across Canada and encourage provinces that do not have such a program to implement one through the funding.
