Nanaimo Foodshare Society "Local Food Matters" – Through education and facilitation, we strengthen and support sustainable, community food systems. At Nanaimo Foodshare, we support people to develop a passion, interest and commitment to healthy, local food in children, their families and the communities they are in. We are committed to helping people develop the skills they need to increase food s

ecurity, build community and be self-sufficient. Our aim is to educate and empower by sharing not just food – but also information, resources, and new opportunities. Youth training in horticulture/agriculture or small scale food service. Career exploration in agri-food sectors. Understand the importance of food security and locally grown products. Learn how to prepare nutritious meals. Share your resources, your knowledge and food from your garden. Our programs offer something for everyone – individuals, families, adults and children.

Fresh air, muddy hands, teamwork, laughter, and learning!
Farm day was filled with planting onions, irrigation work, weeding, teamwork, and lots of shared laughs in the open air. It’s always amazing to see how nature naturally brings people together while building confidence, routine, responsibility, and connection at the same time. Sometimes growth looks like learning new skills.
Sometimes it looks like simply laughing together under the sky while getting the work done. Another meaningful day with our CA 10 crew.

Twelve weeks ago, a group of strangers came together with different stories, challenges, and goals.

This week, we celebrated the completion of the in-class portion of Cultivating Abilities 10. Along the way, we've seen confidence grow, friendships form, and new possibilities emerge.

Today was more than the end of a program—it was a celebration of resilience, growth, and the courage to keep moving forward.
