KAMLOOPS — In Canada, we can get virtually any food we desire by simply visiting a grocery store.

According to a recent study by the Food Institute of the University of Guelph, food prices in Canada are on the rise, meaning you’ll likely pay more at the grocery store in 2016. 

Food prices are just one aspect of food security, but for the average Canadian, they might be the most obvious. If you’ve bought groceries in the past year, you know once you reach that checkout, your dollar doesn’t go as far as it once did.
