[BCFSN] COVID-19 - supporting each other

[Carol Kergan]

Thank you Abra and Linda and now Linda Desormeaux for starting this...The
BC Food Systems Network voice is  valid as we need to be advocates for the
world we will need after the pandemic abates and we move forward.

Human creativity is amazing and as we have always known Food is essential
and good relationships to food and our food system is key...we can discuss
strategies to help this society make the leap forward....

I look forward to renewed dialogue and networking as the silence had been
deafening in recent times.

Be safe and be well in these turbulent times...
