Join us for this forum where we will look at how community kitchens, community gardening and other food-related activities can contribute to building a more welcoming and inclusive community for all. Presenters will talk about how food from our different communities can be used to create community kitchens or multicultural family food nights that can be fun and bring us together. We will also focus on how community gardens can be an integral part of our community. After short presentations, participants and presenters can exchange views about how we would like our community to include food, as well as issues of access to healthy & affordable food. With a facilitated discussion we hope to generate ideas and action steps with an emphasis on inclusiveness and welcoming newcomers and immigrants in our community.
