Who Cares About Country Fairs The short answer is - we all should. When many people hear the words country fair it takes them back to a kinder, gentler time when "Blackberries" made good pie, "pods" were home to peas, "green" was just a colour and the terms " global warming" and "carbon footprint" weren't even on the radar. Those days are gone. Today, across the country, rural fairs are being squeezed out of existence at a time when their message has never been more relevant. Urban sprawl, farm land converted to real estate, food crops converted to fuel (surely a crime against humanity) and misplaced government priorities are all contributing to the extinction of the traditional country fair.
Part of the solution is closer than you think. As close as your own patio or back yard. To become experts on the topics of sustainable agriculture, 100 Mile Diet, eating for the season, urban agriculture, renewable energy and more get involved with your community fair. Help to get the message out that a constant, reliable, safe and healthy source of food means growing and preserving our own and supporting our local farmers. This is your community. This is your community fair. Without your physical and financial support it, too, will cease to exist. Fern Hornett BowHorne Bay Community Club
As our children grow up believing that fruit and vegetables grow in the back of the grocery store and we blithely go on believing that hunger and critical food shortages only happen to poor people unfortunate enough to have been born in the "third world". Well, here's a revelation - there's only ONE world and we are all in it together. Linked by a common thread, the need to eat. We will find that we are not cocooned from what lies before us. One of the characteristics of global warming is more frequent and severe weather events. Open your newspaper on any given day and you will read of a devastating disaster related to weather somewhere in the world. Over time this will have a catastrophic effect on the food supplies that we have come to rely on. 6

Product of Canada - or is it?
product costs of a food item are added in Canada and some kind of "Transformation" takes place, then it can be labeled "Product of Canada".
According to David Boyd, environmental lawyer and Trudeau Scholar at U.B.C. the "federal government is turning a blind eye to the widespread and flagrant violation of the Food and Drugs Act."
Why should this matter to you anyway? Quite simply the standards set for food production in other countries may be far lower than we have come to expect in Canada. Ask yourself "How does China manage to produce apples so much more cheaply than we do?" Now think of the food safety scandals emanating from China. Remember that corporations buy commodities from the cheapest source. Everything from strawberries to olives Getting the idea now?
In his articles for the Globe and Mail he sites many examples of foods labeled "Product of Canada" which are made mostly from foreign ingredients. For example apple juice from concentrate. The label says "Product of Canada". Quite believable since apples are grown right across our fair land, but no, the apples are actually from China or Chile. Other examples are frozen fish sticks, again labeled 'Product of Canada" but actually caught in some other oceans somewhere in the world, ice cream composed largely of milk ingredients from New Zealand, peanut butter and coffee (neither grown commercially in Canada). The list of processed foods labeled "Product of Canada" which actually are made from imported ingredients just goes on and on.
When we see the label "Product of Canada" we think we are doing the right thing whether it's reducing our carbon footprint, supporting local farmers, keeping money in the Canadian economy or a host of other really good reasons. All these lofty reasons are being foiled by our own federal government. What's the biggest Canadian lie? "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you".
How can this be? Well, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the federal agency entrusted with ensuring the safety of food in Canada says that as long as 51 per cent of the

What is Sustainable Agriculture? One hundred years ago people in British Columbia grew much of what they ate. In the time since then we have become increasingly dependent on food grown in the United States and other parts of the world. Climate change, natural disasters, rising fuel costs, decreasing farm land and unstable economies are all contributing to a global shortage of affordable food. Now far too many people with limited incomes are spending an ever greater percentage of it on food We must look closer to home for solutions. One such solution is sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is a blending of three main goals: the health of the environment, profit for farmers and social/economic equity. Sustainable means that we meet the needs of today without
destroying the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Stewardship of the land and support for the people who make their living on it are essential. An understanding of the whole system is critical for sustainability to be successful. This means we must look at the big picture from the individual farm to the ecosystem it is part of, and to the communities affected by farming both close to home and globally There also needs to be a close working relationship between research and education with the valued input of farmers, farm workers, consumers and those who set policy Sustainable agriculture is the ultimate goal. The transition to that goal is done in a series of small steps. Every small decision can make a huge difference down the road and contribute to moving us all a step closer to a constant, safe and affordable source of food. Fern Hornett
