Fwd: Fw: Join our Food-Friendly Municipalities campaign!

[KW Urban Harvester]

Hi,

The Waterloo Region Food System Roundtable is leading a campaign to make it easier to legally establish community gardens and temporary farmers markets. An organizing meeting explaining how people can help with their campaign is happening on Friday, May 23 (11:00 am - 3:00 pm). It would be great if some of the people involved with KW Urban Harvester could come out to help! Details below.

Cheers,

Alisa McClurg
