"The overarching theme of our work really reinforced the fact that individuals are having to choose between their health and safety and a way to make a living." My colleague Susana Caxaj discusses her recent research with migrant farmworkers in BC: https://t.co/e08c0AX0z0 #canlab

"Food, itself, is a storyteller; it recounts pride, struggles, and traditions passed down through generations." A reflection on Cool Food Stories at @collingwoodnh.

This event was supported by our community food initiative fund through @ParkBoard. https://t.co/PuGvk4IR6W

"I was pleasantly surprised to find that a group of strangers, who came from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences would learn and bond over their love for food!"

A highlight from 2019 and @ParkBoard's Arts & Culture work in local food. https://t.co/zhR5CDNUzk

Pumpkin patch in D minor. Keep it safe out there folks. Slow down on the commute home. Children will be out n about. Don’t get bloto then blow off your fingers with a firecracker. 🤘🏾(I worry— what can I say?) 🎃

You're never too young to learn!

Eighteen-month-old Camden Wade was given his first hand drum when he was just six months old. Last week, he took part in his first round dance.
Thanks to mom Terri Wade for sharing!

Mom's simple spring rolls (Chinese BBQ pork, bean sprouts, grated carrot) will always be the best and yes, I dip them in ketchup.

Legit had no idea hot pot stoves are actually meant to be used at campsites and not inside the house till I was well into my late 20s lol.

Tomorrow is the first of three sewing circles in the Treasuring Strathcona project. Come by and stitch with local artists and fellow community members. Your work will become part of a final piece that will be installed at Strathcona Community Centre https://t.co/wXOj6396zG

"My family’s #history on both sides is full of trauma, involving both the Holocaust and the Japanese Canadian internment. Luckily, our #food traditions survived, and I am grateful to both of my parents for passing these traditions on to me." https://t.co/uZ8EVbdUof
