Food Security Map

The CGC is making a food security map, trying to connect the most food insecure people with good food, as well as connecting farmers with customers.

Agriculture has long been a part of the Cowichan Valley’s identity; however, our ability to buy local and nutritious food that supports our economy is of significant concern.

Not only are we heavily dependent on imported food, but many of our friends, families, neighbours and community members are unable to access local and/or high quality food that, in turn, supports the residents of the Cowichan Valley.

The Cowichan Food Charter is a statement of values and principles to guide our community's food policy.

By signing on to the Cowichan Food Charter, we affirm that food, health, and the environment are essential to our community's well being.

Mark Lakeman, co-founder of City Repair, an expert in communitecture, and a community activist, will be speaking on March 20th, 2010 at the Quw'utsun' Cultural and Conference Centre in Duncan.

Be inspired while listening to community activism and change. Doors open at 5:00. Session begins at 5:30. Admission is suggested donation of $10.
