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.
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.
