Brand Awareness & Marketing Campaign using Digital MarketingAneela Ganisetti
Infinity Reach is a digital marketing agency that conducted marketing campaigns for Brand A using digital and social media tools. The objectives were to boost brand awareness and engagement within social media to increase sales. The methodology involved creating ads on social media platforms and conducting campaigns. Analysis found that digital marketing provides a level playing field, affordable advertising, and easy measurement and refinement of campaigns to increase exposure and engagement. Metrics, interactions, and ROI can be easily tracked through digital marketing.
The combination of the main product (a short film) and ancillary texts (poster and film review) is somewhat effective but also inconsistent. While the poster style is continued across titles and fonts, creating mystery, its dark background does not match the bright, outdoor setting of the film. Additionally, the ancillary texts are darker than the bright, outdoor filming location shown in the final film. However, the poster image does promote the film's mysterious nature and prompt questions from audiences as intended. Overall, the inconsistency between the dark ancillary texts and brighter film is noticeable but the poster accomplishes the goal of piquing interest in the short film's mystery.

Taste Real is a publicly supported local food initiative in Guelph Wellington that began in 2005 as a farmer map created by the Guelph Community Health Centre. It has expanded to include partnerships with farms, markets, restaurants, and other food organizations. The initiative connects consumers to local food through various programs like a printed food map, online directory, rural tours of farms, a local food festival, and business networking events. It became publicly funded in 2009 through an OMIF grant and municipal support. The success of Taste Real can be attributed to leveraging partnerships across the region and growing new programs while celebrating accomplishments.
This document discusses steps that governments and food supply chains can take to strengthen local food systems in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends increasing production of certain vegetables and fruits to substitute imports and shorten supply chains. It also suggests that governments can influence consumption patterns to better align demand with local production capacities through coordination between public health, urban planning, and food businesses. A study in Waterloo found that a 10% shift in land use could meet regional growth needs. The document advocates for expanding organic agriculture beyond regulations to 10-15% of total production through policy initiatives including training, procurement programs, and investment.
According to a 2011 survey by Region of Waterloo Public Health, many community gardeners have physical limitations like difficulty bending (47.4%) or walking (21.1%), or are unable to use regular garden tools (15.8%). The document outlines steps to implement an accessible community garden project, and lists partners like the City of Kitchener, Lutheran Homes, and a community group who could help sponsor and support such a project.

This document provides an agenda and information about a webinar on local food procurement in the Ontario Broader Public Sector. The webinar will include presentations from experts on their experiences with and best practices for local food procurement. Attendees will learn about Sustain Ontario's local procurement project and participate in a facilitated discussion on opportunities and challenges for local food procurement. The webinar will also provide information on Sustain Ontario's initiatives to support food policy development and conclude with next steps.
This document discusses a city's support for developing a strategic local food supply chain. It notes that a strategic supply chain can provide value beyond basic needs and give a competitive edge. It also lists potential benefits like supporting the environment, social enterprises, and local economic development. The city council has supported sustainable and ethical purchasing. Developing a local food supply chain could improve supply continuity, economic development, and reduce costs and emissions. Some barriers to local food include resistance to change, staffing issues, limited budget, and lack of market information. Draft objectives include launching food meetings, establishing metrics to measure local food spending, and creating programs to simplify local buying and connect farms to institutions.
This document summarizes several initiatives and projects aimed at increasing the supply of local food to institutions and healthcare facilities. It outlines 8 projects funded by the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation involving various educational and healthcare institutions in Canada. It also discusses policies and efforts in other countries/regions to procure more food from local small family farms for public sector purchasing, including initiatives in the UK, Brazil, Ireland, Vermont, and Denmark. The document references challenges around group purchasing contracts and rebates that can hinder local food procurement.
The document outlines a 11 month program that mentored a cohort of public institution food purchasers starting in 2014. The program aims to use the large buying power of public institutions to support local sustainable food systems by cultivating champions of sustainable food purchasing. It does this through a mentorship program that builds a community of practice to help the cohort discover how sustainable purchasing fits their facilities' priorities and guides them through 2015. The document was written by Hayley Lapalme, the Program Designer/Facilitator of the initiative.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
UN WOD 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean's vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.

challenges?
• Temporary farmers' markets are currently only
permitted in commercial zones that allow retail uses,
many of which are restricted to indoor use.
• Community members often face the challenge of finding
land within walking or transit access of where they live,
work, and play when trying to start a community garden

Nutrition education alone does not address issue of why people eat what they eat
Need to influence systemic factors that affect access to healthy food
Food–related policy can have a greater effect on the health of the population
Chronic Disease Prevention standard #6: "shall work with municipalities to support healthy public policies and the creation or enhancement of supportive environments in recreational settings and the built environment regarding… healthy eating"
[second point from ROWPH Policy Development Approach]
These are some of the roles that Public Health plays in trying to effect change in our food system.
[next slide has red circle around building capacity]
The Food Spaces, Vibrant Places campaign was one in which Public Health took a background role, supporting the work of a group that we have been working with for years to do the advocacy work.
[next slide has same points, with blue circles]
You'll also see some elements of the research role we played, and our ability, as a department of our Regional Municipality, to influence Regional policy
The group doing the work in this case was (and is) the Waterloo Region Food System Roundtable.
The Roundtable is a networking and policy-making group working on building a strong voice for a healthy food system in Waterloo Region. Public Health helped establish the group in 2007, and has been working to build the group's capacity to effect change in the food system ever since.
The Roundtable is made up of representatives from key sectors and interests of the local food system including local farmers; emergency food providers; food processing, distributing, and retail businesspeople; health professionals; and more.
The Food Spaces campaign became one of their projects last year,
…and they created a whole new website and campaign for it.
Here is some important context and background to the Food Spaces campaign. It's part of work that Public Health - and the Roundtable with our support - has been doing to affect municipal food policy for many years.
ROP
In 2009, the Roundtable played a key role in getting food policies included in the ROP (Public Health was also able to play a role in liaising with our colleagues in our Planning department)
included requirement that area municipalities develop policies in their OPs for TFMs (which it defined) and CGs
Defined TFMs as “outdoor food stands using temporary structures to sell food products to the public. The foods sold would be primarily from local sources, and may include processed foods such as jams and preserves and other farm-made products. Stand operators could be farmers or staff or volunteers of a business or organization with a permit to operate the stand”
Municipal official plans
The Roundtable was successful in advocating for polices in each of Cambridge, Waterloo, and Kitchener's OPs that "may permit" community gardens and temporary farmers markets in all land use designations.
The next step is to ensure that community gardens and temporary farmers markets are permitted in all land use zones in each city's comprehensive zoning by-laws.
Public Health was able to provide resources to research the issues in some detail by accessing funds from the Ontario Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care through the Healthy Communities Fund Partnership Stream (http://www.mhp.gov.on.ca/en/healthy-communities/hcf/partnership.asp)
We hired a former Roundtable member and consultant Krista Long in 2013 to do a literature review of policies in municipal official plans which could promote healthy eating, active living, and mental health, including reviewing OPs of all seven WR municipalities to which ones they had
A subsequent grant from the same fund enabled us to hire Krista to focus in on OP policies AND by-laws affecting community gardens and temporary farmers' markets, and recommended changes which would create more supportive environment
With this last report in hand, the Roundtable decided to do some direct advocacy, and it applied to the [read slide] for funds to advocate for the by-law changes identified in the research. Public Health administered the grant funds, as the Roundtable is not an incorporated entity.
With Public Health's support.
A group of Roundtable volunteers ran a hiring process to recruit a co-ordinator for the campaign, and the co-ordinator led most of this work with Public Health's (my!) support.
With the support of HC Link, a free consulting group funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health that that works with community groups, to build healthy communities, we created an advocacy strategy.
They helped us articulate the problem that we were trying to solve:
The Region of Waterloo has less than a handful of seasonal, temporary farmers’ markets
The seven municipalities in the Region of Waterloo have approximately 1200 community garden plots (53 garden sites, or one per every 3763 households based on 2012 data); many new community garden strategies are recommending one garden site per neighbourhood or at least one per every 2000 households
[click] On a side note, while Public Health still believes in the importance of increasing access to healthy sources of food for many reasons (some of which I'll list in an upcoming slide), we have begun to realize that our population's poor overall diet quality has less to do with lack of access to healthy food as it does with an overabundance of access to unhealthy food.
The NEWPATH study showed that Waterloo Region has 5.6 times more convenience stores and fast food restaurants within walking radius (800m) of neighbourhoods than grocery stores, markets or other options for healthy, fresh food choices
Food Spaces Make us Healthy
90% of market goers said they ate more vegetables; 53% said they ate more fruit.
People are 3 times as likely to visit a market when they live in walking distance.
Community gardens help reduce stress and anxiety, and promote physical activity.
Community gardens provide low cost, healthy food options
Food Spaces Create Vibrant Neighbourhoods
Neighbourhood markets build community and encourage social interaction.
Community gardens promote a sense of belonging and help build food skills.
Community gardens create a space for the inclusion of people from a variety of cultural backgrounds, ages, income levels, and needs.
Community gardens preserve cultural identity.
