*Half a Million People Experience Food Insecurity in British Columbia, Says
New Report *
*Northern British Columbia Especially Vulnerable*

TORONTO, August 31, 2016 — Almost half a million British Columbians
experienced some level of household food insecurity in 2011-2012, according
to a new report from PROOF, a research group based at the University of
Toronto.

Drawing on data from Statistic Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey,
the report finds over one in ten B.C. households struggling to put food on
the table in 2011-12. Families with children under the age of 18 were at an
even greater risk of food insecurity, with one in six B.C. children living
in a food insecure household.
