Events

Metro Vancouver's Sustainability Breakfasts

Metro Vancouver hold breakfasts where people can network and learn more about sustainability. There are usually a few presentations (one recently was on urban agriculture) and the next one is on Tuesday November 9th from 7:30 to 9:00am.

Vancouver Food Policy Council Meeting

They happen every 2nd Wednesday of each month, so the next one is on November 10th from 6 to 8:30pm at City Hall. Anyone is allowed to attend, and I think at least some of us should go. They provide fair trade coffee, snacks, and a copy of the agenda

Organizations

Slow Food Vancouver

They were founded in 1989, and are a non-profit member operated organization trying to get people to build a relationship with their food.

Their mission is:

to defend biodiversity in our food supply;
to spread taste education;
to connect producers with co-producers through events and initiatives.

They think that small-scale agriculture in cities is the future. They plan a bunch of events and have a really cool page that shows what's in season for each month I sent them an email, so we'll see what they say!
