For details on what a food charter is and why it is important please read below. If you were unable to attend, or have questions or input you would like to provide to our project team please contact us at foodsystemsnorth@gmail.com Food Charter: Details: Food Charters can play an important role in guiding what action and investments are made for and by a community. A food charter is a resource that is created with the community to outline a shared vision for the local food system. The goal of a Food Charter is to guide action and investments that contribute to the needs and wants of the community in both the short-term and food future contexts. Ways that a Food Charter can invest in a community can be: - Food Systems Planning, such as food policies, initiatives, programs or economic developments - Food Systems Advocacy, such as advocating for food access, sustainable food production, urban and rural food lands, and agricultural education/support - Food System Education, such as making food knowledge accessible to the community or supporting school food literacy programs - Community Engagement, such as creating opportunities for community participation and collaboration - Food Celebration, such as social food gatherings, story telling, and cultural food programs To see examples of food charters in BC please follow the links below: Food Charter: A Project by Vancouver Island Food Hubs: https://www.islandfoodhubs.ca/.../Island%20Food...

Everyone Is Welcome! For details on what a Food Policy Council is and why it is important please read below. If you are unable to attend, or have questions or input you would like to provide to our project team please contact us at foodsystemsnorth@gmail.com Food Policy Council Details: Food Policy Councils (FPC) can be in many forms, such as a community-led group or as part of the municipal government, but are all groups of people working together to invest in the local food system. FPC’s bring together a wide range of food actors and food interests across sectors and from all touch points of the food system, from producers to eaters, to food distributors and food recovery programs. FPC’s connect the diverse perspectives, needs, and realities of the community, and across the food system, around greater objectives to invest in the needs and the shared vision of community members - for food systems that benefit the entire community. In general FPC’s can contribute to community food systems in ways such as, enabling communities to influence food policy, advocating for community food needs, or supporting the development of food programming or food infrastructure. FPC’s often share similar objectives of supporting and evolving local food systems such as food system sustainability, food security, and food sovereignty. Examples of how FPC’s can support a communities food system can include: - Advocating for food policy, food work equity, or municipal support of local food - Liaising and delegating to different levels of government or public service organizations, such as Regional Districts - Supporting farmers and new-farmer programs and education - Support Indigenous Food Sovereignty and food system governance - Amplify youth voices and providing opportunities for youth involvement - Conduct research and evaluate ideas/programs - Create public campaigns for food systems change - Creating public education opportunities and support school food literacy programs - Improve food management / food waste management To explore examples of FPC’s please copy the list below: The Kamloops Food Policy Council: https://kamloopsfoodpolicycouncil.com/ Vancouver Food Policy Council: https://vancouver.ca/.../vancouver-food-policy-council.aspx Squamish Food Policy Council: http://www.squamishfoodpolicycouncil.com/ Comox Valley Food Policy Council: https://lushvalley.org/cvfpc/ Central Okanagan Food Policy Council: https://www.okanaganfood.com/ Central Kootenay Food Policy Council: https://ckfoodpolicy.ca/ Value About Call Us Like our Facebook Page for the latest updates throughout our project!

Safety First! How to use an orchard ladder safely? Check the VIDEO ! HARVEST SAFETY CHECKLIST If you are uncomfortable climbing a ladder, please don’t climb it. You can pick the low fruit, clean up the fallen fruit, or help sort and weigh the harvest. Make sure ladders are stable and secure before climbing up. Be particularly careful on a slope or on soft ground. If in doubt, ask someone to hold the ladder while you are on it. Orchard ladders are not designed for use on hard surfaces like driveways or sidewalks. Use a regular ladder for those areas. Don’t overreach. The fruit is not worth risking a fall. Get down and move the ladder if you need to. Be conscious of other hazards such as pokey branches, holes in the ground, or tree stumps sticking up. Please ensure kids take part safely and respectfully – no running or yelling in consideration of homeowners and their neighbors.

Like 2 4 Olivia Kim Aug 13 From Data to Decisions: The Transformative Features of AI General Discussion Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, from healthcare to finance to entertainment. As technology evolves, so do the incredible features of AI that continue to redefine the way we live, work, and interact. For both businesses and consumers, AI is no longer a distant concept but a present-day reality that holds enormous potential. One of the standout features of AI is its ability to process and analyze massive amounts of data at lightning speed. This capability allows AI to provide insights and predictions that were previously unimaginable. In sectors like healthcare, AI-powered systems are being used to diagnose diseases, recommend treatments, and even predict patient outcomes with remarkable accuracy. Similarly, in finance, AI is employed for fraud detection, risk assessment, and personalized financial advice, making the industry smarter and more efficient. AI 기능 보기 in the context of everyday consumer applications, and you'll find even more exciting possibilities. From virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to smart home devices that learn your preferences, AI is embedded in many aspects of daily life. These intelligent systems make decisions based on patterns they detect, streamlining tasks and enhancing user experiences. In entertainment, AI is revolutionizing content recommendations, helping you discover shows or movies you might have missed based on your viewing habits. Moreover, AI’s role in automation cannot be overstated. With the ability to handle repetitive tasks, AI is freeing up human potential for more complex and creative work. In manufacturing, for example, AI-driven robots are improving efficiency and reducing error rates. As we continue to push the boundaries of AI, we can only imagine what the next breakthrough will bring. The future of AI is incredibly bright, and its features will undoubtedly continue to shape our world in ways we’ve only begun to understand. Like 1 6 Forum - Frameless
