Food security is just one of topics that will be discussed at the annual Healthier You Expo.
Don Bassermann will be discussing the "100 Mile Diet" talk at 2:40 p.m., to discuss what people should be considering in regards to how they get their food, how to get there and what it all means.
"I made an entire dinner the other night for some friends, and the entire meal, including the wine, was local," said Bassermann, a city councillor, but will be speaking on his own behalf.
"It's relatively easy to achieve. You have to think about taking advantage of what's around you, and it didn't take a great, big truck to get here."
During his talk, Bassermann will be periodically giving out some homemade "goodies," including eight or nine bottles of wine, honey, cabbage, carrots and preserves.
"I want to leave people thinking about how they can contribute to local food, and sustainability," he said.
The expo runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Civic Centre.
