F2CC transitions to a new administrative host, the Social Planning & Research Council of BC (SPARC BC) to facilitate its continued growth.
F2CC receives funding from the Heart and Stroke Foundation to implement and evaluate a Farm to School component within the Nourishing School Communities (NSC) initiative.
This initiative was supported by Health Canada through the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. By funding salad bars in 6 schools in Atlantic Canada and 3 Farm to School Learning Circles, the project marks F2CC’s start as a national grant provider.
Did you know?
During a Learning Circle on Haida Gwaii, the term “local food to school emerges” as an alternative to farm to school. The term, which can be used interchangeably with farm to school, recognizes and celebrates that food systems are diverse and our food comes from local waters and wild spaces as well.
Relevant policies or events
The first ever Farm to School Month in Canada is celebrated, an important annual opportunity to celebrate and showcase the diversity of ways farm and local food to school activities come to life across the country.
