NOW Magazine named Wayne Roberts one of Toronto's leading
visionaries of the past 20 years. During his visit to Cornell,
Roberts will speak about his experiences as a food activist and
manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, a citizen body of 30
food activists and experts widely recognized for its innovative
approach to food security. Roberts co-authored the recently launched
Toronto Food Strategy, endorsed by the Toronto Board of Health, and
Toronto's Food Charter adopted by the City Council in 2001. Prior to
his work on food systems, Roberts chaired the Toronto-based
Coalition for a Green Economy for 15 years, co-authored Toronto's
Environmental Plan and received the 2002 Canadian Environment Award
for his contributions to sustainable living. He also worked for two
decades in community organizing, university teaching, media, labor
education, industrial relations and union administration, during
which he served as senior negotiator between the Ontario Housing
Corporation and Charles Street Tenants' Association in the longest
and biggest rent strike in Canadian history. Read one his most
recent editorials below.
