[BCFSN] Fwd: Supporting Urban Food Systems / town hall reminder

[Arzeena Hamir]

Sounds like an important Council meeting in Victoria on Thursday. Hope folks in that neck of the woods can make it and speak in support of growing food in public green spaces.

> I know that supporting urban food systems is a big priority for you.
>  
> I share this concern and believe that every neighbourhood in Victoria should have a generous supply of public greenspaces that support the provision of healthy local produce, including common gardens, allotment gardens, and wild ecosystems supporting biodiversity and native food and medicinal plant species. Supporting local food systems also means supporting commercial farmers and food producers, as well as supporting neighbourhood food hubs, materials depots, and food sharing programs that ensure access to nutritious local food for people of all income levels.
>  
> That's why I'm writing to remind you to attend the Town Hall on the City of Victoria Budget happening this Thursday at 7:00 pm at City Hall, to express your views to City Council on investing in local food systems and other priorities. I hope to see you there!
