Flin Flon Constituency NDP candidate Tom Lindsey has announced a re-elected NDP government will ramp up investments in northern food security initiatives.  He explains what it is is an increase in the funding so that more things can take place.  He says there’s a number of projects that are in the works already including the 80 communities that have started doing different things such as gardening, small green houses, livestock and poultry projects that are on the way so it’s just going to expand that and allow more communities to participate in the program.

Linsdsey adds the initiative will make sure northern Manitoba families have better access to nutritious and affordable food and more local economic opportunities.  He says all Manitobans should have access to healthy food no matter where they live.
