Investigate how conflicting corporate, media, government and NGO messages impact our lives and polarize our community into ‘us’ and ‘them’

This theatre experience explores how strategic messages influence the community at large and investigates the informed or misinformed choices we make as a result. The fundamental goal of this type of theatre is to make the event relevant, at a grassroots level, using the momentum to move forward as a cohesive healthy community. You the audience choose the stories and decide how to dramatize them… YOU ARE THE EXPERTS OF YOUR OWN LIVES !

Time for a pan-Canadian food strategy.

Please join Malcolm Allen, Member of Parliament for Welland and NDP Agriculture Critic as he tours the country with his “Farm to Fork” tour.

Tuesday, August 20, 2013
4:00 – 6:00 PM

Mohave Room, Desert Gardens Community Centre

540 Seymour Street, Kamloops

RSVP – crawfordndp@gmail.com

Because Canadians deserve practical policies that grow our rural economies, produce nutritious local food and protect our land.

Canada is without a comprehensive food policy—lagging behind other industrial countries in the OECD, like England and Australia.

Now the United Nations has raised serious concerns about food security in Aboriginal communities and a lack of a coordinated food strategy in Canada.

That’s why Canada’s New Democrats are calling on the Government of Canada to implement a pan-Canadian Food Strategy to:

  • support farmers
  • improve access to healthy food
  • market Canadian food at home and abroad.
