I look forward to presenting some of my learning from a seasonal study with folks here in Kenora (and in Kitchener-Waterloo) who are balancing feeding themselves and communities with caring for the ecosystem in unique ways. In the context of today's challenges, we will talk about our relationships, responsibilities, and the seasonal ways we eat, grow, and harvest food. Drop in to learn about the tensions, joys and hopes that were part of this project, and share some of your own stories and thoughts! 

Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 11:00am - 12:00pm.
