economic recession: OTTAWA The number of Canadians using food banks has fallen off slightly but still remains near record highs almost four years after the end of the economic recession, according to The Chronicle Herald. Underlying this small drop is a concern of enormous proportions: food bank use remains higher than it was before the recession began, the report states and The annual study by Food Banks Canada, scheduled for release Tuesday, shows that more than 833,000 people relied on food handouts during one snapshot month earlier this year, compared with 872,379 the previous March.
