What qualifies here?Using guidance for Toronto.
A real local connection. A specific positive practice. Evidence you can check.
Canadian guidance currently focuses on the City of Toronto, not the wider Greater Toronto Area or every Canadian city.
What we look for locally
Food access and redistribution, community support and shared skills; repair, reuse, refill and borrowing with a specific Toronto-serving activity.
What needs checking
Check the City of Toronto boundary, actual branch or delivery area, referrals and catchment eligibility. Distinguish an independent operator from a municipal venue; do not infer access, languages or community identity.
Inclusion describes a specific practice, not an overall impact score, certification or confirmed membership. Check each profile’s evidence and limitations.
