Building the Soil, the 6th Annual Assembly of the Local Organic Food Co-ops Network, is the event of the year for Ontario’s food and farming co-operatives. Through two full days of peer-to-peer workshops and facilitated open space sessions, nourished by healthy and delicious meals in a cozy retreat setting, the Assembly is a pivotal platform for Network strengthening and co-op capacity building. It offers members and allies necessary tools for co-operative food systems transformation.
This year’s event places those who produce food at the centre of the conversation, through a pre-Assembly workshop with Dan Kittridge on High Bionutrient Crop Production, co-presented by the LOFC Network, Ecological Farmers of Ontario, and Greenbelt Farmers Market Network on February 23-24. As well, the LOFC Network will host a public forum on Regional Food Hub Development in Ontario on the evening of February 24 (ticket included in the cost of registration or $20 at the door). This public forum marks the opening of the Assembly, and will be followed by two full days of workshops and conversations to help support your co-op business.
The annual gathering of the Network is an incredible opportunity to meet and build connections with the amazing people who own and operate food and farm co-operatives across Ontario, serving their communities fresh, local, sustainably produced and fairly traded food. The Assembly is an extension of the work being done within communities, creating space for meaningful participation and food citizenship. It is our chance to further a burgeoning movement in the province by getting to know one another in person, exchanging stories, enhancing skills and knowledge, and collectively making decisions about where we are headed.
Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC) provides ideas, resources and a proven approach to partner organizations across Canada to create Community Food Centres that bring people together to grow, cook, share, and advocate for good food. CFCC also works with the broader food movement to build greater capacity for impact and to empower communities to work toward a healthy and fair food system.
Under the supervision of SPRC leadership, the Urban Farm Community Animator will work in partnership with the McQuesten Community Planning Team and the McQuesten Urban Farm Team to engage local residents and other partners in the planning, development and programming related to the McQuesten Urban Farm and Hamilton Victory Garden at McQuesten.
