A Food Security Framework Advisory Committee was developed, comprised of community members and County staff. The firm of Eco-Ethonomics Inc. was contracted to undertake broad community consultation to develop the Framework. </p><p> <span style="font-size:1em;">Re</span><span style="font-size:1em;">commendations from the Simcoe County Food Security Framework included the development of a Simcoe County Food Council and the engagement of a community agency to host a related Community Coordinator position. The Food Council, led by the Community Coordinator</span><span style="font-size:1em;">,</span><span style="font-size:1em;"> supports coordination and collaboration of food security efforts, programs, and initiatives, and leverages existing networks to better connect partners across Simcoe County.</span><span style="font-size:1em;"></span></p><p> <strong style="font-size:1em;">Vision</strong><br></p><p>The Food Council envisions a sustainable, equitable, and secure local food system in Simcoe County that recognizes food as a human right.

Goals focus on the following areas:</p><p>1. Household food insecurity in Simcoe County </p><p>2. Support income and housing solutions</p><p>3. Increase physical access to sufficient nutritious food for all </p><p>4. Improve community food literacy </p><p>5. Support the local agri-food sector </p><p>6.

Early Years Data

Early Development Instrument (EDI) Data

What is the EDI? The EDI is a 103-item questionnaire completed by kindergarten teachers in the second half of the school year that measures children’s ability to meet age-appropriate developmental expectations in five general domains. After teachers complete the EDI on each individual child in their class, the results are grouped together to give a snap shot of how children are doing across schools, neighbourhoods, cities, or even provinces and countries. The EDI data can be helpful for a variety of different users. The Government can use EDI data to plan early childhood investment, inform policy and program development decisions, or evaluate programs. The use of EDI maps can help focus investments and identify the areas with the highest needs.(Description taken from the <a href="https://edi.offordcentre.com/" target="_blank">EDI Offord Centre website </a>) EDI in Simcoe CountyIn Simcoe County, the EDI was completed for four cycles: <ul><li>Cycle 1: 2003-2006 </li><li>Cycle 3: 2009-2012</li><li>Cycle 4: 2014/2015</li><li>Cycle 5: 2017/2018 </li></ul> EDI Data Reports Cycle 5 (2017/2018) <ul><li> <a href="/SocialServices/Documents/Simcoe%202017-2018%20EDI%20Report.pdf" target="_blank"> <img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/images/icpdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="" />Summary Report (Simcoe and Ontario) </a></li><li> <a href="/SocialServices/Documents/Simcoe%20CI%20-%20CV%20Change%20Over%20Time%20Report.pdf" target="_blank" style="font-size:1em;"> <img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/images/icpdf.png" width="16" height="16" alt="" style="margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;" />5 Cycles of the EDI (Simcoe and Ontario)</a> </li><li> <a href="/SocialServices/Documents/EDI%20Results%20Presentation%20(Simcoe)%20draft%20V6.pdf" target="_blank" title="to the presentation "><img class="ms-asset-icon ms-rtePosition-4" src="/_layouts/images/icpdf.png" alt="" />EDI Results Presentation 2020</a> </li></ul> Please use the numbers in the reports above when reporting previous cycle data, for consistency and comparability purposes. <div> Below you will find reports from previous cycles (EDI collection periods).
