Climate change isn’t just something happening “out there” - it affects our food, power, water, and weather right here in Dunoon. With extreme weather events becoming more frequent, have you ever wondered “what if…”?

Our community food growing garden, Grow Food Grow Dunoon, has been hosting get-togethers for locals to discuss the impacts of climate change and our community's resilience.

The fourth and final get-together will focus on WEATHER and will take place on Saturday 20 June at 11:00am.

One of our main priorities in all aspects of our work is to support local businesses wherever we can - putting Community Wealth Building into action. We are especially grateful to Coorie Cooks for ensuring that the produce they used at our Dunoon Film Festival Open Seas screening was as local and as sustainable as possible thanks to their excellent contacts at The Rock Cafe and Fynest Fish.
