The provinces agriculture minister is challenging New Brunswicker’s to become locavores on September 4th. That’s the day the four Atlantic province’s are competing to see who can get the most people to eat locally produced food.
Agriculture minister Ronald Ouellette says the benefits of eating locally grown food will have environmental and economic spin offs for New Brunswickers. Ouellette will be joined by his Atlantic counterparts, John MacDonell of Nova Scotia, George Webster of Prince Edward Island and Kathy Dunderdale of Newfoundland and Labrador, who have all pledged to eat only food from the Atlantic region that day.
