The four Atlantic province's are competing to see who can get the most people to eat locally on September 4th. Agriculture minister Ronald Ouellette says the benefits of eating locally grown food will have environmental and economic spinoffs for New Brunswickers. Ouellette will be joined by his Atlantic counterparts, John MacDonell of Nova Scotia, George Webster of Prince Edward Island and Kathy Dunderdale of Newfoundland and Labrador, who have all pledged to eat only food from the Atlantic region that day.
