The "A to Z of Getting Your Food Products to Market" is a full-day session hosted by the City of Kingston, the Township of South Frontenac and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). It will feature representatives from KFLA Public Health, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and local businesses, who will be on hand to provide all the tools and resources needed to get your food to market.

“If you’ve ever dreamed of getting into the food production business, there are many resources available to make that dream come true,” says Tracey Snow, Manager, Rural Economic & Community Development. “By bringing everyone together in one place, we can share this wealth of knowledge, support local businesses and encourage those who want to become local producers to do so.”

The training session is open to anyone, whether you’re looking to sell that secret family recipe people always ask for, you’re considering a side gig or full-time operation, or for farmers and artisans who are already producing food products.

The event will take participants through every step, from renting and using a commercial kitchen, to understanding regulations and food safety requirements, to getting products on the shelves.

Spine, Muscle & Joint Pain

According to the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) 2017 report, almost 90% of Canadians have experienced muscle and/or joint pain in the last year, the most common being back pain and headache.

Pain affects the way people work, play and generally live. And a person’s spine, muscles, joints and related nervous system supports every movement they make. Unfortunately, the World Health Organization reports lower back pain as a leading cause of disability worldwide. And a study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that back pain was the most common diagnosis for which emergency and family physicians prescribed opioids.

Sleeping posture is the number one cause of muscle and joint pain, according to those surveyed in CCA’s report. Shovelling snow, picking up a child or sitting at a desk for hours at a time can also severely impact your spine, muscles, joints and nervous system. And with an aging population, the number of conditions is expected to increase significantly. By 2031, the number of Canadians suffering from these conditions will increase from 11 to 15 million.

Muscle and joint pain often stems from physical trauma, repetitive strain or overuse. It frequently impacts the head, neck, shoulders, back or pelvis. Most people will experience some form of muscle and joint pain in their lifetime. For example, you may strain muscles moving boxes or overdoing it at the gym. While not all of this discomfort is bad, it’s best to use proper techniques when you do strenuous or repetitive activities. This extra care helps you prevent disorders and pain. Research demonstrates that we can manage many conditions through patient education, exercise and manual therapies rather than through surgery or medication. And nine in ten Canadians who have used chiropractic care to help with their muscle and joint pain believe that it improved their quality of life.
