We are pleased to announce the recipients of our
Farm to School Month Canada 2018 Grants!
WALTER E HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL
Oshawa, Ontario
70 students Digging In to Farm to School Month
They are excited and inspired by F2S because:
I love when my students take the opportunity to sample local plants, to grow veggies at school, and to engage in sustainable local food projects! We are inspired by the idea that our school can transform our yard space into an orchard of fruit-bearing trees, and raised planters, to facilitate healthy eating!

OUR LADY OF LOURDES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
West Kelowna, British Columbia
40 students Digging In to Farm to School Month
They are excited and inspired by F2S because:
We are excited by local food because it is so close to us, down the road at the community garden and two blocks over at the local farm and fruit market. Every child has a story about farms and food, and its inspiring to hear their interpretations of how food is grown and consumed.
