Food safety matters to every Canadian — from our farms to our grocery stores to our kitchen tables. This World Food Safety Day, under the theme “From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere,” we recognize how data about the impact of foodborne illness on health, livelihoods, education and economies can help drive cost-effective and science-based solutions that help keep people safe.

Former students of Île-à-la-Crosse School may now apply for settlement compensation payments. Through this compensation process, we seek to recognize the harms experienced by Survivors, as well as their families and communities, who attended or were affected by the Île-à-la-Crosse School. The school operated from the 1860s to the 1970s and primarily served Métis and First Nations students from northern Saskatchewan. Together, we have worked to find a fair, compassionate, and respectful resolution to this litigation.
