Calgary Chapter of The Council of Canadians

Monthly Meeting – Tuesday, September 20, 2011
7:30 – 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 7
Unitarian Church, 1703 - 1st Street NW

Guest Speaker: Chelsea Pratchett, activist and food enthusiast

Topic: The Path to Food Sovereignty

Backgrounder: Requests for new farmer’s markets are being turned down and dozens of empty spaces in current markets are a growing trend in Canada’s breadbasket provinces. Increasingly, Canadian’s demand for local food markets has outpaced production. So why the bare shelves in a rich agricultural land?

Chelsea will present a case study addressing current agricultural developments taking place elsewhere that focus on attainable solutions to this problem.

This is a free public event. Members and guests welcome.
Donations gratefully accepted.
