Julia Lee characterizes herself as a hopeful healer; that is, she works as a family physician in the GTA. Her conviction around “good, clean and fair” food systems creating better health for populations has driven her to participate in the food security movement. Her current role as Chairperson for FoodShare, one of the pre-eminent food security organizations in Canada, has helped grow her passion and knowledge about food systems. In addition to cooking, canning, growing, supporting and eating local food, she loves Jesus, global missions and (most of) what plays on CBC Radio One.
