What do food and community mean to you?
Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association seeks to build a thriving community and food hub beginning 2012. As a community, we want to know what is important to you when it comes to food and what community based food security might look like.
Join us for an interactive 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.
