About Our Logo

This beautiful logo was created over many rounds of discussion with the Indigenous Food Wellness Advisory and include five sections of holistic wellness: lands and waters, plants, animals, community, and food tools. These components of the logo are all gathered and held within the birch knowledge basket, a motif you will see repeated throughout the Hub.
