APPENDIX F: FOOD MAIL REVIEW PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

This document sets out the dates, locations and individuals with whom officials met during formal engagement sessions that were part of the Food Mail Review.

In addition to these sessions, nine public engagement meetings were conducted as part of the "Summative Evaluation of INAC’s Food Mail Program." The timing of this mandatory evaluation was staged to inform the work of the Food Mail Review and prepared by INAC’s Evaluation, Performance Measurement and Review Branch (EPMRB).

To avoid overlap, and where feasible, engagement sessions conducted by the Audit and Evaluation study group were held in communities that would not be visited by the Food Mail Review team. In late 2008 and early 2009, EPMRB held public engagement sessions in the following communities: Repulse Bay, NU; Cape Dorset, NU; Cambridge Bay, NU; Inukjuak, QC; Kangiqsujuaq, QC; Pauingassi, MB; Muskrat Dam, ON; Deline, NT; Natuashish, NL.
