In this episode of Pros and Conversations, host Peter Reynolds and co-host Damon Adachi dive into the pressing issue of food insecurity affecting communities across Ontario and beyond. They explore the vital roles that entrepreneurs, small businesses, and large retailers can play in ensuring that no one in their community goes hungry.

Joining them are two insightful guests: Stephanie Ashton-Smith, Vice President of Development and Partnerships for Feed Ontario, and Aaron Wade, Manager of Public Relations and Community Investment at Farm Boy. Together, they discuss the mission of Feed Ontario, the importance of food banks, and the systemic changes needed to combat food insecurity.

This episode is part of our Community Impact Series, where we look at how businesses can make a real difference in their communities—by breaking down barriers, creating inclusive spaces, and stepping up to support local needs. It’s not just about doing good; it’s also good for business. When companies give back and care about the communities around them, everyone wins.
