Map Your Food!
COMMUNITY MAPPING is a way for people to talk about the assets, resources and challenges in their community, and it can help communities improve their situation or solve problems.
This Spring, Summer and Fall the Westend Food Co-op and Hannah Lewis have been running a half a dozen or so Community mapping workshops in the Parkdale area in the leadup to the founding of a permanent location for our food co-op.
These newsletters and the following links constitute a fascinating record of Parkdale residents' thoughts and attitudes towards the food they eat and the complex food system that feeds us all.
