[Pil-pc-oceania] SYDNEY event: Alliance to start food policy development process

[pacific-edge]

The Sydney Food Fairness Alliance is planning the development of a food
policy for the Sydney region. Although the day to start this process is
aimed at Alliance members, it is being advertised in case others interested
in attending and observing can do so.

EVENT: Shaping the future with a Sydney food policy.

Purpose - 
1. Consolidate local examples/evidence for why a Sydney Food Policy is
needed.

2. Develop strategies for engaging the public and decision makers about the
need for a Sydney Food Policy.

The workshop is also an opportunity to exchange skills and broaden knowledge
within the Alliance - building on what we each contribute and have expertise
in.

DATE: Thursday 22 February 2007, 9am - 3.30pm.

VENUE: Edmund Rice Centre, 1st Floor, 9 Alexandra Avenue, Croydon NSW.

COST: To be confirmed, although we'll try to keep minimal (enough to
cover costs). 

INFORMATION: Rowena Yamazaki <rowena.duns at email.cs.nsw.gov.au>

REGISTRATION: Registration and an outline for the workshop will be available
soon. Watch our wesite www.sydneyfoodfairness.org.au
 
The workshop replaces our February meeting. Next Alliance meeting is in
April.
