Mythbusting Who's Using Food Banks with Suman Roy of Feed Scarborough.

Amidst abundance, do food banks reveal a deeper truth? Who are the faces seeking sustenance, and what stories do they carry? As we question the fabric of food security, these enigmatic spaces challenge us to redefine access and equality. Are they a mere stopgap, or do they mirror a systemic struggle that requires collective solutions?

Suman Roy has an extensive career in Private, Public & Not For Profit sector business operations around the City of Toronto, Nationally and Internationally. Suman is on his second term at the Toronto Board of Health. During his time at Toronto Food Policy Council he supported the launch of Toronto Youth Food Policy Council. He was also the Chair of the Board of Director at FoodShare Toronto.

Suman was also one of the key consultants who helped write the first Food Strategy for the City of Toronto. He initiated Scarborough Food Security Initiative, to spread the awareness and combat food apartheid with a vision of a Hunger Free Resilient Scarborough.

Mr Roy is also the author of an International award winning best-selling book “From Pemmican To Poutine – A Journey Through Canada’s Culinary History”
