Membership
About Membership
Members of Food Secure Canada are eligible to vote for officers and the future direction of the FSC at the annual food assembly. They may also participate in projects and receive support from the FSC secretariat. Training and capacity building activities organized by FSC are open to members, and on the FSC's website member organizations will be able to educate the general public on their campaigns and research interests.
FSC admits organizational, individual, and associate members. Organizational members must be non-governmental organizations wholly or partly involved in food security work or research on a not-for-profit basis. People with an interest in food security unaffiliated with an organization can also join FSC as individual members and have voting privileges. Organizations or individuals that work in other fields, government units, or profit-making bodies are eligible to join FSC as associate members without voting privileges or membership on the steering committee. Associates receive mailings and may also participate in training and capacity building opportunities.
