This team’s project focus includes:

• Creating a menu list of traditional foods that could be offered to First Nations, Metis, and Inuit populations 

• Building a planetary health menu that incorporates a lot of traditional Indigenous foods. The menu is expected to be plant-forward but will include fish and other Traditional foods. 

• Building Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that allow scoring for sustainability, including actively seeking to provide access to Indigenous businesses as part of value-based procurement efforts. 

• Creating a direct connection to the broader health care clients of Mohawk Medbuy’s MEALsource division by sharing approaches, learnings, successes, and challenges.
