GUELPH, Ont. — Last year, Canadian consumers experienced only modest increases in food prices. In fact, not only did food prices in general barely go up, but prices for fruit and vegetables decreased by more than 8 per cent. Unfortunately, this year will be a different story. Several forecasts predict food prices will go up anywhere from 1.5 per cent to 3.5 per cent, probably exceeding our national inflation rate.

Cupid’s weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, but Erick Sharp wanted something more explosive to propose to Stefanie Setacci, his girlfriend of five years. So he did what many love-struck Gryphons have done before: he painted a proposal on the campus cannon in hopes of winning her hand.

CME is proud to announce that Hotel and Food Administration co-op student, Michelle Chan, has been selected as the recipient of the 2012 Stephen Phillips Passion for Hospitality Bursary Award. The award is presented on behalf of the Hotel Association of Canada Board of Directors and the Bursary Selection Committee to a hospitality student who best represents the qualities that Stephen Phillips brought to the industry. Michelle is commended for her dedication to her chosen career as well as for demonstrating leadership and passion for helping those around her.

Prof. Sylvain Charlebois rushes into his office, buzzing with energy and enthusiasm. It's clear he's excited to talk about the subject that interests him most: food safety. By now he is used to dealing with the media and an old pro at interviews. But this time he's caught off guard: the subject of the interview is not his research, but himself.

The associate dean of research and graduate studies in the college of management and economics at the University of Guelph has become a force in Canadian and international media on issues of food safety and food security.
