This conference brings together thought leaders and volunteers on the ground to discuss ideas around tackling hunger across Canada.

• The Brian Fernandez Education Fund –French’s wanted to find a way to say thank you to the man who became a social media sensation after sharing his support and commitment to the farmers of Leamington.
