[Lydia Travers]

Hello all,
as many of you who attended the recent Gathering in the Secwepemc Territory
will remember, the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on the
Tsilhquot'in Nation, our work on food lands, and the changes to the ALR
regulations had a huge impact on our discussions while we were together and
thoughts on the path ahead for the BC Food Systems Network.

I recently learned of this presentation below and thought that some on this
listserv may be interested in participating. Note that it is free for the
public and accessible via webcast for those of us who do not reside in the
Victoria area.

in good food,
Abra
