We're back for another year, and this year we're proud to be supporting the Port Hawkesbury Food Bank Society

The course is the original all-road Festival of the Strait route, before the trail sections were added. If you ran it back in the day, you know what you're in for. If you haven't tried it yet, now's your chance.

Timed event, open to runners, walkers, and strollers. Registration on site.

Know someone who'd love this? Tag them or give this a share. Every person who shows up makes a difference.

We have an abundance of baby formula here at CFN that expires on various dates in May. We would like to share it with the community before it expires and is unsafe to consume.

If you would like any or know anyone who could use it, please come to our back door (parking lot off Dominion st) and speak to a volunteer or staff member.

This Stop Food Waste Day, we’re reminded that food is too valuable to waste — especially when millions of people in Canada are facing food insecurity.

Every year, perfectly good food is lost across the supply chain. By rescuing and redistributing surplus food, we can reduce waste, protect our environment, and help ensure more people have access to the food they need.

At Food Banks Canada, we’re working with partners across the country to turn potential waste into meaningful support for communities. In 2025 alone, our food recovery efforts prevented 103 million lbs of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.

Because reducing food waste isn’t just good for the planet — it’s essential for building a more food-secure Canada.

En cette Journée de lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire, rappelons-nous que les aliments sont trop précieux pour être gaspillés, surtout lorsque des millions de personnes au Canada vivent en situation d’insécurité alimentaire.

Chaque année, des aliments parfaitement bons sont perdus dans toute la chaîne d’approvisionnement. En récupérant et en redistribuant les aliments excédentaires, nous pouvons réduire le gaspillage, protéger notre environnement et faire en sorte qu’un plus grand nombre de personnes aient accès à la nourriture dont elles ont besoin.

À Banques alimentaires Canada, nous travaillons avec des partenaires de partout au pays pour transformer le gaspillage potentiel en soutien concret pour les communautés. En 2025 seulement, nos efforts de récupération alimentaire ont permis d’empêcher plus de 46 710 tonnes de gaz à effet de serre de pénétrer dans l’atmosphère.

La réduction du gaspillage alimentaire n’est pas seulement bénéfique pour la planète, elle est essentielle à la construction d’un Canada où tout le monde est à l’abri de l’insécurité alimentaire.
