What is the Canadian Food Industry Council (CFIC)?
Created in 2003, the Canadian Food Industry Council (CFIC) is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting a collective response to the food retail/wholesale industry’s human resource challenges. We bring together representatives from business, labour, education, government and other professional groups in a spirit of cooperation to analyze and develop strategies and tools to address identified needs. The Government of Canada, through its Sector Council Program (SCP), contributes funding to support the Council’s infrastructure and project development. The SCP works to enable partnerships that address skills development and human resource issues by establishing, developing and supporting national partnerships and the capacity of partners to address both pressing and emerging issues.
