Hi Brenda,

I'm sorry I couldn't make the meeting too. I would be
willing to join the advisory (well - excited to
actually, just very busy) if there is a need for more
bodies. I would only be able to make evening meetings,
however.

I also need to cut a cheque for $600 for the GWFC from
Hatching Change.

hey - are you out @ the farm at all these days?  my fella is all super
charged about cobs these days.  took him to the now boarded up salsbury
street, and thought the ubc farm would also be good to show him.  be
great to see you too.  maybe i could even pick up the hatching change $
at the same time.  i just had time expand this week, and feel like i
have an extra 1 1/5 days - no small feat these days! i thought that it
might be a good thing to do tomorrow, if all the spontaneous fairies are
in position.

let's connect soon either way.

Hi GWFC--sorry most of you couldn't make the meeting last night--we were
swimming in leftovers!
I need to confirm involvement for the advisory committee for the Community
Food Mapping project.
Please RSVP with your commitment (some of you already have, thank you).  The
project covers 12 weeks and we would probably meet every other week with the
successful applicant (project coordinator).
The advisory committee will:
1) work to develop two key initiatives from the mapping results.
2) develop strategy on how to disseminate results.
3) oversee work provide feedback to the project coordinator.
4) work on visioning for the future--other funding sources etc...

Thanks!
Brenda on behalf of GWFC

I'll be there!

Hey folks,

To update you on what the funding committee (Paula, Chaya, Angela before she moved to Toronto, Brenda & I) has been up to - we've put in 3 funding proposals so far, one to the City, that wasn't successful, one to the SMART fund which unofficially has been successful but we need to get the official word, which should happen any da y now, and one to the United Way that we'll hear back about this month.  yay!

We'll be getting $15,000 from the SMART fund to do the mapping initiative as phase 1 of a project re. mapping, follow up on key initiatives etc. but it has to be spent by the end of March, which means we have to move fast. 

-Here's the SMART proposal, FYI. 

<<Budget rework for SMART - Devon's changes.xls>>  <<SMART- workplan modified questions - draft 2.doc>>  <<SMART chart - problem solving.doc>>
Basically, we need to form a hiring cttee ASAP so that we can hire a part-time coordinator for the mapping project ASAP.  The hiring cttee would need to do up a job description & a job posting; figure out how we're going to advertise; decide on a closing date; figure out interview questions; & do the interviews.  I've emailed Paula Carr from Collingwood Neighbourhood House, and she's agreed to send us their job description etc. for their food security coordinator, so we can use that as a starting place for ours. 

I think we'll need 1 meeting before christmas so that we can get the job posting out as soon as we officially hear word from the SMART fund. 

Who would be interested in meeting about this?

Also, here are 3 potential meeting times for next week as a starting point (but if these don't work & you're interested in being involved, please send around other options that would work for you.

Local Food Festival at the UBC Farm!!

In conjunction with International Eat In/Act Out Week
(see below), we
will be celebrating the bounty of local food by
inviting the community
to come down and have a local food picnic on the Farm,
from 9-1 on
Saturday August 6th. We will be serving traditional
bannock, grilled
veggies, homemade blackberry pie, and more. Other
features will
include:
honey tasting and beehive tours, live music, heaps of
u-pick
blackberries, the UBC Farm Market, and face painting.
Come down and join us for a country in
the city morning/afternoon.


August 1st -7th
International /Eat In, Act Out/ Week**
*A Global celebration of local, healthy food and
communities*

*August 1st -7th * 2005, fill-up your* picnic basket*
with fresh,
local ingredients and join us! Join hundreds of
thousands of people
across the province of BC and the world to celebrate
the 1st
International /Eat In Act Out/ Week.

Initially launched by the non-profit organization,
/The Food Project/
(www.thefoodproject.org
<http://www.thefoodproject.org/>), /Eat In Act
Out/ Week is a series of events happening worldwide to
promote local,
healthy food and communities...a week to celebrate our
local economies,
our rural communities, and recognize the magnificent
work of our local
farmers and food producers- globally.

/Eat In Act Out/ refers to using local food, cooking
food yourself
instead of eating fast food or take out, and taking
action to
positively
change our food system. Through /Eat In Act Out/ Week,
The Food Project
hopes to:

1) Encourage everyone in our communities to eat
locally and think
critically about their food choices

2) Build a sustainable food system where everyone has
access to
affordable healthy food

3) Highlight the capabilities and importance of youth
in this movement

4) Engage youth in positive forms of social activism

5) Strengthen its connections, and build the movement
by working
together on an international event

**Here’s a perfect, low-maintenance, fun, social event
for community
garden associations, neighbourhood associations,
co-operatives,
non-profits, families, and citizens across BC*****

*August 1^st -7^th ,* organisations across BC will
encourage their
members to fill-up their basket with fresh, local
ingredients, cook a
tasty meal, and bring friends, family, and neighbours
to their
favourite
park, farm, or community garden for a
socially-responsible
picnic...imagine town wide, citywide picnic
celebrations of our urban,
sub-urban, and rural food-producing communities-
across the province of
BC.

And, watch-out for the *green ribbons*! At markets in
Vancouver,
Victoria, Kamloops, Penticton, Prince George, and
Abbotsford, teams of
dynamic volunteers will be distributing green ribbons
for people to
wear
August 1^st -7^th , to catalyse province-wide
conversation about the
importance of eating locally and supporting our local
growers.

Please, spread the word!

*In BC, this pilot initiative is being made possible
by the BC
Association of Farmers’ Markets
(www.bcfarmersmarket.org
<http://www.bcfarmersmarket.org/>), the BC Ministry of
Agriculture and
Lands, Your Local Farmers' Market Society
(www.eatlocal.org
<http://www.eatlocal.org/>), the Vancouver Food Policy
Council
(www.vancouver.ca/foodpolicy
<http://www.vancouver.ca/foodpolicy>),

Hey folks,

here's a beginning draft of the timeline & logic model

Hey Paula,

thanks for being involved and keeping the Food
Connection breathing. I have a bunch of minutes, but
they're all hard copies, except for the one week that
I did the minutes. I'll dig up those ones to forward
to you, but how can I get you the hard copies?

How's your summer been? I'm really adjusting and
getting into my place at the Farm, actually living out
here as caretaker for the next two weeks. I'm still
interested in arranging to have your students out to
the farm, and organizing a Fruit Tree project in the
fall. Let's chat.

be well,
Gavin

Some funding ideas from the SFU Food Security group:
(who are apparently sending us some money as we speak
- either $600 or $1100, I'm not totally sure)
