Local Foods to School

Local Foods to School is a program that connects K-12 schools and local farms with Indigenous ways of knowing. Its objectives include: 1) serving healthy meals in schools; 2) improving student nutrition; 3) supporting local and regional farmers/agriculture; 4) fostering the development of school gardening/greenhouse and food forest projects; and 5) supporting Indigenous hunting, fishing and food gathering cultural practices by providing health and nutritional education opportunities. The model showcases the power of collaboration within a community and between two neighbouring schools both within the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation homelands.
