Slowfood Calgary Presents an Afternoon Workshop: What does food and community mean to you?”
WHAT DO FOOD AND COMMUNITY MEAN TO YOU?
Could it be: Collective beekeeping? Someone to shop or cook with? Accessibility to foods you want or need, without worry about cost? Communally grown food?
Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association seeks to build a thriving community and food hub beginning 2012 and we want to know what is important to you when it comes to food and community.
Join us for an exciting day filled with invigorating presentations, workshops, food and fun. Learn about different perspectives of food security and what that might mean to you. Help us to discover what is possible, what inspires and what is necessary.
Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association—1320 5th Ave NW
SATURDAY JANUARY 21 11-3 pm.
This is a free and open event.
