F2SBC Conference Updates: Registration & Extended Call for Proposals
Angelina Sharma
Hello Farm to School Surrey Network,
Happy Monday! Below are some important updates about the Farm to School BC Conference happening in May 2023.
Extended Call for Proposals: February 22nd
After receiving feedback from members of our community and partner organizations, we decided to extend the deadline for the Call for Proposals. We understand that some of you may have felt pressure to meet the original deadline, so we're giving you more time to refine your submissions until Wednesday, February 22nd at 11:59 pm PST.
Our goal is to highlight as many diverse food literacy initiatives as possible at the upcoming F2SBC Conference. So we encourage you to create a poster with your students, share your research findings, give a presentation on best practices, or relay your personal stories. We hope this extension will inspire even more of you to apply!

Early Bird Registration: Till March 15th
Our 2023 conference, Planting the Seed: Harvesting connections, ideas, and community, is happening May 18th & 19th at the UBC Nest in Vancouver. Our conference aims to celebrate the impact of both budding and established school food initiatives and programs, welcome diverse perspectives to share their experiences and knowledge, and generate within our community a revitalized sense of connectedness and empowerment.
We anticipate up to 300 attendees from backgrounds spanning education, health, agriculture, culinary arts, policy, research, Indigenous affairs, and youth sectors. Conference themes include school farms, meal programs, Indigenous food ways, capacity building, celebrating culture with food, community connections, youth leadership and training, and more. Register now to avoid missing out on our early bird prices, ending March 15th!
As a reminder, our call for proposals ends February 22nd (next week)! Successful applicants will have access to our reduced presenter registration rate for the conference. More information on guidelines and submissions can be found by visiting our conference website."
