Planning for Indigenous Resilience in Times of COVID-19 and Climate Crisis
this resource is a document
Content type:
Document

Building on our 2020 Vision, we feel it is more important now than ever to advocate for the creation of an Urban Indigenous foodscape in Strathcona park. An Indigenous foodscape would breathe some much needed social and ecological resilience into the downtown eastside of Vancouver by realizing our vision of restoring Indigenous foodlands, establishing an Indigenous seed heritage garden, as well as building an Indigenous feast hall complete with large scale community kitchen for preparing, preserving, storing and sharing large amounts of food.

this resource is a document

Document

On December 19, 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau approved the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The owner, Kinder Morgan is threatening to transport diluted bitumen (dil-bit), a highly explosive neurotoxin, across the Fraser River, less than 400 metres near the headwaters.

this resource is a document
Content type:
Document

Aboriginal peoples are among the most food insecure groups in Canada, yet their perspectives and knowledge are often sidelined
in mainstream food security debates. In order to create food security for all, Aboriginal perspectives must be included in food
security research and discourse. This project demonstrates a process in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal partners engaged in
a culturally appropriate and respectful collaboration, assessing the challenges and barriers to traditional foods access in the urban

I am writing to let you know we are gathering digitally to protect wild salmon.

Five thousand years ago the Broughton Archipelago generously supported thousands of people. Its natural contours create the perfect conditions for clams, salmon, herring and seaweeds. As long as their culture protected the fish, the people thrived building communities, a society, Nations.

Over the past month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has embarked on a concentrated effort in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, threatening area businesses with fines unless they remove their ungraded farm-fresh eggs from store shelves. Close to a dozen businesses that Deconstructing Dinner is aware of have received such a visit. This episode hears from a number of those businesses including comments on the issue from the BC Egg Marketing Board, the CFIA and the regional health authority Interior Health.
