[BCFSN] Farmers or Community Partners interested in taking part in Emergency Preparedness project

[Grandview Woodland Food Connection .]

Hi Paige,

I am interested in exploring ideas.

I am also part of the City of Vancouver Grandview Woodland Resiliency Pilot
Project as well as a cluster of 6 housing co-ops all within a 5 blk radius
who are working on a joint emergency plan.

Thank you,
