Food insecurity in Ontario hits record levels says study
Ontario faces sharp food insecurity with more than one in a million residents seeking food bank help over the past year. The analysis contrasts Canada with the United States where 2023 figures show 22.9 percent of households affected, and notes Canada’s grocery sales fell 3.2 percent while the U S saw a 1.8 percent rise.
