Eat Think Vote

In the upcoming Federal Election, Nourish Nova Scotia is working to ensure that youth across the province can share their voices in important policy decisions that affect them. Whether it’s writing a letter, speaking with other young people about their concerns, or holding an Eat Think Vote event, we want to support youth in sharing their voices about food issues that matter to them.
