Environmentally Safe & Healthy Accessible Food Workshop‏ Tomorrow!

[KW Urban Harvester]

Hello,

Tomorrow morning there will be an "Environmentally Safe & Healthy Accessible Food" workshop at UoW that focuses largely on gardens. Details below.

What: There will be a half hour panel discussion on the following: "Increasingly, we are hearing how food is essential to our health, but at the same time it brings significant environmental concerns in how it is grown, processed, and distributed. How would you envision best creating better opportunities for access to healthy food that also reduces our impact on the environment? What role can community gardens and/or other food initiatives play in this?" The panel discussion would be followed by a conversation cafe. Panelists include Steven Svenson, Brianne McCallum, and Meg Herod, all individuals heavily involved with gardening and the local food movement
When: Friday (tomorrow!), August 24th from 10am-noon
Where: RCH 308, University of Waterloo, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo (RCH = J.R. Coutts Engineering Lecture Hall, near South Campus Hall - http://uwaterloo.ca/map/ ).

Hopefully some of you can make it!

Cheers,

Alisa McClurg
