Happy Pollinator Week from FCF! 🐝🦋🦇🐦🐞 Did you know that pollinators like bees, butterflies, & bats provide 1 out of 3 bites of food we eat? Says thanks by planting native plants, supporting farmers, avoiding pesticides, & telling others about the importance of pollinators!

Though we work to raise awareness, acceptance, love, and understanding each and every day, the humans and creatures of FCF wanted to acknowledge April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day.

We have to admit that we have been keeping a secret... we are honoured to have been invited to take part in the pilot episode of “Invisible in the Hills” (part of the Stories for Caregivers initiative through the TELUS Fund.) The final product is live on https://t.co/v4sY8xl1ta.

And we cannot forget the kick butt ladies who have been staff, volunteers, and students over the years. They have all gone on to do amazing things… bringing positivity to the farm, the clients and the community.

FCF wouldn’t be where it is today without the strong, compassionate, hardworking female founders and entrepreneurs. Breanne Mathers and Stephanie Deaken.
Here’s to strong women and girls…
May we BE them
May we KNOW them
May we SUPPORT them!

@Hanigsberg @HBKidsHospital @canuckclown Hard to put into words the impact that she had on the kids, families & STAFF at @HBKidsHospital! Working with her on the BIRT & CCC teams for almost 10 years was an honour and her legacy of grace, giggles, empathy and love will live on in every person she met! RIP Dr. Flap 💔

@kristen_gaull @ONTSpecialNeeds So sorry to hear about your experience! Not sure where you are located but check us at https://t.co/rAHSCALJac. We believe every child should have the mental health services they need no matter their other diagnosis (and it should be provided in a way that supports them best.)
