schoolyard farms that provide paid jobs and school credit for high school students - project of @FoodShareTO - we farm at Bendale BTI & the roof of Eastdale CI.

We grow over 40,000lbs of local food this year, and we engage over 100 families in our Community Compost Exchange program to collect food waste to use in our compost system @Burnhamthorpe1 farm. Thanks to the school for the partnership to grow community and food in the field.

Did you know that the unemployment rate for racialized youth in Toronto in 2022 was 20.5%, compared to 15.7% for non-racialized youth?

Or that the unemployment rate for Black youth in Ontario was 28% — double the national average of 14.3%?
