   important to the Supported Apartment Living Self Advocates group,
   - there is a feature on the BC Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program,
   - community gardens,
   - fermenting vegetables, and
   - the importance of nutrition to elders experiencing dementia (Eden
   Gardens)   are all on for the premier.


A very entertaining, heartwarming and educational evening.

*Setting the Table – Community Documentary Project*

*Short Videos Premiere Screening*

*Tuesday April 17th 6:30 at Bowen Park Auditorium*

*Admission is free*



For the past year a group of dedicated seniors have been active in the
Setting the Table project, gaining video production skills and producing a
series of short documentary style videos.


The videos are all about the connection of other seniors to food including
their passions and community involvements. Now those seven videos are ready
for their premiere screening.


 Join us in celebration as we launch these videos on Tuesday April 17th
from 6:30 to 8:30 at the Bowen Park Auditorium, 500 Bowen Rd.


A year ago, Nanaimo Foodshare, in partnership with Manly Media, Seniors
Connect and the City of Nanaimo launched the Setting the Table
project. Documentary
and educational filmmaker, Paul Manly taught the group about video
production and then mentored them through the process of documenting
stories that interested them. The participants determined the content of
the videos, which include videos profiling seniors involved with bee
keeping, community gardens, the farmers market, fermenting vegetables and
Eden Gardens. A local group of self-advocates with diverse abilities
profiled their involvement with the Good Food Box and Cooking out of the
Box programs.


Doors open at 6:30 and the evening starts with a mix and mingle with finger
food and beverages before the program begins at 7:00. The event is free and
open to all members of the public. Special thanks to our sponsors, Thrifty
Foods, the City of Nanaimo and Seniors Connect. For more information

The Setting the Table project is funded in part by the Government of
Canada's New Horizons for Seniors program with in-kind support from Manly
Media and Nanaimo Foodshare. Event sponsors include the City of Nanaimo,
Thrifty Foods and Seniors Connect.
All the best
