Food Banks Canada surveyed 1,500 Canadians aged 18 to 24 with the help of Toronto pollster Pollara Strategic Insight. The findings, which were first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, painted a grim picture of young people struggling to make ends meet, a challenge that can sometimes lead them to forgo meals.
