The findings are laid out in a new report from Feed Ontario, a collective of 1,200 direct and affiliate food banks and other organizations that work to address food insecurity

TORONTO — Ontario residents have been visiting food banks in greater numbers and more often for six years running, a coalition of hunger relief organizations said Monday, noting the troubling trend appeared to escalate during the most recent year on record. The annual Hunger Report, subtitled "The Deepening Cracks in Ontario’s Economic Foundation," found 587,000 adults and children visited the province's food banks a total of 4.

"The pressures that ... low-income Ontarians and marginalized groups are feeling with the unaffordability of today is exceptionally concerning. The fact that so many people are now having to rely on emergency food support to get by should be worrying all of us, not just Feed Ontario." "Social assistance rates are continuing to fall far below low-income measures," said Stewart. "That, being coupled with unaffordable housing, is really making it impossible to afford the most basic necessities for many individuals."

More Ontarians relying on food banks and visiting them more frequently, advocates sayOntario residents have been visiting food banks in greater numbers and more often for six years running. So the last 6 years, record numbers of Canadians can't afford food, and Trudeau has been in power for 6 years. Makes sense, just a part of the liberal paradise! If you think it’s bad now just wait until Canada imports 2 million people. Hope it was worth it

They should have been able to tap into TennisChannel coverage if needed. Hope in the future a contingency plan is put in place just for this exact scenario. Unless they give a lot more specific detail, I think the 'weather' excuse was a lie. Malaga's weather was clear all day.
