SCFH fosters collaboration to support the availability of and access to nutritious, sustainable food in a culturally appropriate and equitable manner through education, policy development, and priority food security projects for communities in Strathcona The Strathcona Community Food Hub fosters collaboration to support availability of and access to nutritious, sustainable food in a culturally app

ropriate and equitable manner through coordination of education, policy development, and priority food security projects for all communities including vulnerable people within the Strathcona Region. The Hub defines food security as everyone has equitable access to food that is affordable, culturally preferable, nutritious and safe; everyone has the agency to participate in, and to influence food systems; and food systems are resilient, ecologically sustainable, socially just, and honour Indigenous food sovereignty as a priority. Food sovereignty is defined as the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. We respectfully acknowledge we work within the traditional unceded territory of the Ligʷiłdax̌ʷ people. We also recognize that we work within the traditional, treaty and unceded territories of the Ehattesaht /Chinehkint, Homalco, Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che: k'tles7et'h’, Klahoose, K’ómoks, Kwiakah, Mowachaht/Muchalaht, Nuchatlaht, Tla’amin, Tlowitsis, We Wai Kai and Wei Wai K*m First Nations.

Prepare today for potential wildfire evacuations.

• Pack grab-and-go bags for people and pets in your household using PreparedBC’s printable list: https://tinyurl.com/2x6kr65e

• Pre-register with Emergency Support Services (ESS) to reduce wait times at evacuee reception centres: ess.gov.bc.ca

• Check if your homeowner or tenant insurance covers evacuation-related expenses. It likely offers greater support than what’s available through ESS.
