During our Speaker session on Saturday with Graham Bradley the topic of victory gardens was raised and our own Michelle Smith mentioned a BBC series that featured them as well as how the UK handled food security issues during WWII. Here’s a link to the series on YouTube.

Another amazing thing about Gabriola is PHC. Did you know that they not only run the Food Program but also offer pet food and animal feed? Because really animals are family and need food security as well. Come see PHC at the Food Security Fair and see what else they offer to the community.
May 3, 12:00 - 3:00 at the Agi Hall

When the garden isn't calling why not sit down with a good book. New Society Publishers makes it's home here on Gabriola. But there is more to this company than great books. New Society Publishers has a Statement of Ethics, Sustainability Practices, and produces a yearly Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
Come and see New Society Publishers at the Food Security Fair
