The Gift of Good Food means even more this year

Free boxes of fresh produce can make all the difference for families with soaring costs

›› Chantille Viaud

For the first time ever, it is more expensive to live in Victoria than Vancouver.

This won’t come as a surprise to almost anyone who has been to a grocery store recently. Soaring food prices, combined with high inflation on other household costs, means a lot of families are struggling to make ends meet.

Now more than ever, people need access to healthy food. No one should have to worry about where their next meal will come from, or have to decide between paying rent or buying food. People shouldn’t have to sacrifice nutrition because of cost, or feel shame because they can’t keep up with the soaring cost of everything.

This is why, every year, Fernwood NRG raises money for the Gift of Good Food. It’s a program that provides a year’s worth of fresh produce for families who need it, with no stigma attached. The fresh produce is available in a Good Food Box every other week. It provides a consistent source of meaningful support for the families who receive it and is something they can rely on for the year.

This kind of support can be life changing.

As financial pressures increase for families trying to make ends meet, they’re forced to make tough choices. For one family, the Gift of Good Food gave choice back.“The increased food costs this past year really impacted what I purchased for my family. The Gift of Good Food tremendously helped put healthy options back on our table.”

For another family, the impact was more stark: “It can make the difference between whether or not I get enough to eat or not. My kid always comes first, but it’s nice when there’s enough dinner for everyone.”

And we know how people access food is also very important. “Access to fresh food is priceless; not having to go to food banks makes a world of difference. They can be demoralizing.”

Last year we raised a record amount of money and were able to support families all over Greater Victoria. And we couldn’t have done this without support from you - our community.

This year we need that support even more.

The number of families who need help is at an all time high. We are able to stretch dollars further through bulk buying, sourcing local and in season, and having a com-

mitted volunteer base. But we need your support to make this all work.

Our goal this year is to raise $100,000, which will allow us to support more than 140 families with an entire year’s worth of fresh produce.

We work with 18 community partners to distribute the boxes to families. They support marginalized people, and the families most in need, in their communities. Our partners are community centres, other neighbourhood houses, transition houses, refugee service agencies, grassroots collectives, and the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. They identify people who most need the Gift of Good Food. And do this through the relationships they’ve established in their respective communities.

Each neighbourhood centre serves as a local pick-up location, and we offer delivery to those who need it. Both pay-

ing customers of the Good Food Box and recipients of the Gift of Good Food get the same high-quality, fresh produce from the same pick-up location. One of our core values is to provide dignified access to food — we don’t differentiate between our paying and non-paying customers. Everyone gets the same level of quality and service.  Most of us have felt the crunch with rising prices and have had to make some hard choices to balance our budgets. Some families’ choices are being reduced to ones they shouldn’t have to make: Food or rent? Milk or vegetables? Spend time with family or wait in a food bank line?

This year, please help us raise funds to support families to have one less worry, and donate to the Gift of Good Food.

Visit thegiftofgoodfood.ca/donate to donate online or drop by the Fernwood Community Centre to donate in person.

guest editorial: Supporting child care professionals

Eric Swanson

We’re at a historic moment for child care, in BC and across Canada. Promises by the provincial and federal governments to build a quality $10aDay system are becoming reality. The number of life-changing $10aDay spaces – including those provided by Fernwood NRG – is steadily increasing, as are fee reductions for those still waiting for a $10aDay spot. There is a lot of work left to do, but one issue demands especially urgent action: we need to give far more support to our child care educators.

Here in Victoria and across the country childhood educators and other child care professionals report high levels of stress and burnout, with many opting to leave their chosen profession in search of better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Often,

child care programs can’t run at their full capacity, and some new facilities are sitting empty because of challenges finding enough qualified staff

The solution: BC needs to treat early childhood educators like the professionals they are.

Specifically, advocates in our province are calling on the BC government to ensure all early childhood educators and schoolage educators:

Are paid professional wages and benefits in the form of a provincially funded wage grid that reflects educators’ qualifications, years of experience and crucial role in society – just like our K-12 teachers!

Have paid time dedicated to professional development and advancement of BC’s Early Learning Framework and the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework.

Have enough colleagues to share the load, via a comprehensive strategy to attract and educate new ECEs – including far more Indigenous educators.

Can practice in professional, healthy and culturally safe work environments.

Are supported to enter the profession through tuition-free access to public postsecondary programs, student loan forgiveness and public education campaigns.

BC officials report that work on some of the above, including a professional wage grid for child care educators, is ongoing, but progress can’t come soon enough.

If your family is enrolled in a child care program please consider telling your child care educators just how much you appreciate their hard work, and consider joining others across the province in calling on the provincial government to do more. You can take action at 10aDay.ca/bc_action

op ed: Provincial initiatives for food access

Grace Lore, MLA

With the cost of living rising, the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and the housing crisis in our city, already vulnerable folks are making hard choices on what they can afford to put on the table.

Addressing food security is complex and requires collaboration and commitment across sectors to ensure programs and policies support access to, and availability of, healthy, sustainable food. I wanted to share with you some local initiatives as well as recent government programs that are working to not only highlight the importance of food security but improve access to all.

Earlier in the year, The Victoria Community Food Hub Society’s Food Connections project received a provincial grant of $350,000, administered through the Victoria Foundation’s Food Security Provincial Initiatives Fund. Food Connections is a program that links locally produced food and food recovered from regional gro-

cery stores to a certified kitchen to create value-added products. Shelf-stable food is then developed for community programs,

garden gleanings:

Put your garden and yourself to bed

›› Kayla Siefried

Well hello gardeners, it’s good to write for you again. It’s that yin, sleepy, restful time of year, where gardens have been put to bed for the season and we turn our attention to indoor projects and, hopefully, resting. If you haven’t already tucked your garden in for the season I wanted to offer a few tips for “putting the garden to bed”. Then I wanted to offer some tips for putting yourself to bed too!

In the garden:

Leave roots of all annual plants to decompose. When you cut back annual flowers and vegetables, leave their roots in the soil – their decomposition will add valuable organic matter to the soil. Why is organic matter beneficial? Well, organic matter:

• increases nutrient uptake in plants by regulating soil pH and increasing Cation Exchange Capacity,

• feeds beneficial microbes,

• builds soil structure increasing water retention, air flow, and tilth,

• reduces compaction and erosion, and

• sequesters carbon in the soil, increasing climate resilience.

Cover your soil with leaves! And, I mean a LOT of leaves. Cover the soil with a foot of leaves and replenish them if they blow away or decompose. On the note of wind, it can be helpful to secure your leaves (which in this case function as a mulch) with plastic mesh, sticks and twigs, or even a few old boards of wood. Mulch is a type of organic matter, so see above for a non-exhaustive list of benefits. You can read more about mulch in the Com-

post Education Centre’s factsheets 6 & 7 ( compost.bc.ca/ programsresources/ factsheets/)

Chop and drop old plants. Feel free to leave the chopped down plants directly on the soil surface! The plant cuttings are organic matter as well!

Collect leaves. Leaves are so beneficial for using as mulch in the garden but also for using as a brown carbon rich material in your compost bin, all year long!

And so, once the garden has been put to bed, perhaps it’s time for a rest for you as well, dear gardener. This is a great time of year to learn a new recipe in the kitchen, do a puzzle with your family, or read that book that’s been in your stack waiting for you a while now.

Happy Solstice, may you and your garden rest well!

Recently, the province announced the new Indigenous Food Systems and Agriculture Partnership program, that will give up to $80,000 per project to help build more resilient food systems in Indigenous communities. Additionally, this will support emerging Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses, and economy in BC. Creating and supporting resilient food systems continues to be a priority with the nature of changing climate and rising costs of living.

More locally, there are initiatives such as little free pantries and the community fridge, which provide access to no-cost nourishment for anyone who needs it – as well as food banks throughout the city. A big thank you to Fernwood NRG for their Good Food Box program, community building, and food sharing family dinners!

If you would ever like to discuss anything further, please feel to reach out to me at Grace.Lore.MLA@leg.bc.ca or 250-952-4418

Daniel Vokey, owner of Patisserie Daniel, opened his first shop on Fort Street 30 years ago in 1992 and, after significant growth in his wholesale business, he opened his second location on Cook Street in 1994. Eventually, after starting a family, he decided to scale down his wholesale operations, close the Fort Street location, and focus on retail operations from the Fernwood location.

Through our hour-long conversation, it became abundantly clear, that on top of being a passionate, creative, and dedicated pastry chef, Daniel is primarily a community builder. We spoke much more of customer stories than we did of food. We looked at photos on the wall and he recounted his memory of entering a local pie baking contest with his daughter. I learned that his more than 20 staff members range in age from 14 to 75 including two employees that have been with him for 22 years and also how each of his family members

work with him and play a role in the business. I learned about his volunteer work with children making marzipan at the hospital, and about seeing his customers grow from single, to partnered, to growing families, and now even some of those children becoming employees. He shared a story of

an unhoused elderly person on an old bench across the street and lessons his son learned from the gesture of providing a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun. We talked about customers that he invited to participate in making chocolates or decorating flowers and countless others that all represented a special

place in the history of Patisserie Daniel.

Even the walls have a story to tell. You may have noticed it is adorned from wall to wall with wooden cutting boards which all started with a simple gesture from a customer who was downsizing and gifted Daniel a very old traditional bakery board. From there, Daniel posted about it saying “I got board” and received an outpouring of additional boards from customers and neighbours alike. Now he has hundreds still waiting to go up which he hopes to eventually cover the ceiling with.

It is clear that in his 28 year history in Fernwood, the customers are the driving force behind his passion for community and commitment to craft. So next time you stop by, maybe ask about a board, or a picture on the wall—you will walk away with a full belly and a full heart.

Drop by Patisserie Daniel on Tuesday to Friday from 7:30am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to 5pm. Learn more at patisseriedaniel.com and follow them at @ patisserie_daniel.

What tree has unique copper bark, glossy leaves, bright orange-red berries, and lives only on the Pacific West Coast? Have you seen a twisted, crooked tree with auburn peeling bark and dark green shiny leaves that stay all winter with clusters of fragrant white blossoms turning into bright berries in the fall?

It is an Arbutus menziesii or Pacific madrone and it is often found on rocky outcrops near the ocean. Groves of arbutus can be viewed on Mount Doug, Mount Work, and along Arbutus Drive. However, this tree can be found hiding all over Victoria and there is a healthy vibrant one near the corner of Camosun and Balmoral Road beside Glenwarren Lodge.

In the winter, the massive leaf area of these trees slow the heavy rainfall and allow gradual absorption of rainwater which reduces stormwater runoff. Birds rely on the berries as an important food source and pollinating insects are drawn to the flowers.

Vancouver has listed these trees as the most suitable for climate adaption and great for biodiversity. It is tough and adaptable in urban areas though they may

need intermittent watering during severe drought.

The wood is not suitable for furniture or lumber as it tends to split and crack.

Unfortunately, the arbutus does not usually grow from seeds as the deer eat the new shoots. This tree is protected when it grows to 50 cm in height, however, no tree is really protected in Victoria if it is located within a building footprint.

Look for these vibrant native trees in our neighbourhood and help protect them from drought and development.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Fernwood NRG Holiday Meal this December 19 at 5:00pm. Please remember to register at FernwoodNRGHolidayMeal. eventbrite.ca. We enjoy seeing the faces every Monday, but it’s always extra special when we get to decorate and be festive. Once again, we are thrilled to be able to provide toys for families and children who need them. Toy selection aka Santa’s Workshop will be located at the first set of gym doors and accessed from outside. An extra special thanks to Burnside Gorge Community Association and Santa’s Anonymous for the donations. If you would like to bring non-perishable food items, diapers, or menstrual hygiene products

north

instead of cash, or in addition to a donation for dinner, those items are also welcome. When I am considering donating something I always ask myself, “Would I want this for myself?” I think it’s important to give the things we would really want for needing ourselves or our loved ones.

The Holiday Meal will kick off a break in programming for Community Programs. Staff will take a much-deserved break, but of course, we will be back in January with lots to offer:

Mondays

• Parent-Child Mother Goose, 10:30am – 11:30am, registered

• Ferbwood Community Meal, 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

• Mothers for Recovery, 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm (child-minding provided)

• Victoria Best Babies prenatal, 11:30am –1:30pm, registered Friday

Add to that rising food and shelter costs, and reports that food banks are seeing record numbers is no surprise. In April 2020, North Park started a free weekly grocery hamper program. We thought this would be a temporary measure, intended to get groceries to isolated seniors and families until public health measures eased up. But we quickly learned that for many, their food security needs were not pandemic related at all. Between living in low income, mobility challenges, disability, illness, housing insecurity, marginalization, and rising rents many had been food insecure for many years.

Since then, we have delivered more than 11,000 hampers. Every week, about 90 households receive a free grocery hamper filled with produce, dairy, non-perishables, and bread. We accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions/preferences, and we tailor the size of the hamper to the size of the household.

The hamper program would quite simply be impossible without an amazing team of volunteers led by grocery hamper coordinator, Ruby! Every week this incredible group heads to Food Share Network Warehouse, Wholesale Club, and Cobs Bread before meeting up at First Met on Balmoral Road. The food is sorted into individually labeled hampers and then sent out with delivery drivers or picked up by the recipients.

We are very grateful to First Met Church

who provides us a rent-free space for this program (as well as an office!) and whose Evolving Church group regularly donates extra special goodies to the households with kiddos. Currently, the Healthy Communities Initiative grant through Community Foundations of Canada is funding the hamper program, and we are actively looking for another grant so that we can carry this program on.

To learn more about the hamper program please visit npna.ca/hampers. To see what else is going on in North Park, sign up for our newsletter npna.ca/newsletters or find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @WeAreNorthPark

The Black Cat Tattoo Winter Market – Sunday, December 11, 2022

›› Bryce Warnes

Black Cat Tattoo is hosting their 2nd Annual Winter Market on Sunday, December 11 at the Fernwood Community Centre at 1240 Gladstone Avenue. The market runs from 10am to 6pm and features 30+ vendors.

Last year’s Black Cat Winter Market attracted hundreds of visitors who showed up to support local artists and makers. This year’s market includes even more vendors offering a huge variety of handmade and custom-designed goods. Expect to find art prints, apparel, ceramics, crochet, handcrafted leather, beadwork, enamel pins, canine accessories, and more. Hot drinks will be available from Routine Coffee & Supply’s onsite pop-up.

Established in 2016, Black Cat Tattoo’s first shop was located just around the corner from Fernwood Square. In 2020, in order

to accommodate more artists and comply with social distancing requirements, the shop moved downtown to 659 Johnson St.  Entry to the Black Cat Winter Market is free. The Fernwood Community Centre is stroller & wheelchair accessible. Masks are mandatory. Please consider bringing cash; while many vendors accept debit & credit card payments, some may not.

The Unplugging, a play about connection and climate change at the Belfry

›› Mark Dusseault

Playwright Yvette Nolan was inspired to write The Unplugging after the death of her mother and the realization that she had not learned enough about her Anishinaabe heritage.

She was also fascinated with connections and what we do when we become disconnected.

“Medicine is about connection, connecting things that have been disconnected. But at this moment, we’ve become so disconnected - the pandemic, the social justice movement, and polarized political views” says Nolan.

“Th e thing we need to do is reconnect. And of course, in the theatre, we haven’t been able to do it in the room with each other. Th eatre is medicine, I think, and medicine is about connecting everything and everybody back together again.”

The Unplugging reveals that when all the world’s technology ceases to function, it is time to find a new way of surviving— or an old way. Two women—one Indigenous and one white, exiled from their

village for being too old to bear children, trudge across the desolate, post-apocalyptic ruin, relying on traditional wisdom for survival.

When a charismatic stranger appears, seeking their aid, they must choose whether to use their knowledge of the past to provide hope for the future to the community that branded them “useless.”

“Like the end of the world, due to climate change or our total dependence on electricity and the internet,” said Nolan “and every time the power goes out somewhere, people send me messages going, ‘Yvette, it’s The Unplugging, Yvette, Texas is in The Unplugging, Yvette, the Yukon’s in The Unplugging.”

“Some of my pals call me Cassandra because I’m always telling the future and I’m never listened to, but I sort of feel like sometimes I write plays and they become more relevant as they hang around. And The Unplugging is one of those.”

The Unplugging runs at the Belfry from February 7 to March 5, 2023. This season the theatre is offering pay-what-you-want tickets - available at the Belfry, at 250-3856815 or at belfry.bc.ca

buzz: Looking back on one year

›› Kathryn Juricic

It’s been one year since most of our Board of Directors have been at the Fernwood Community Association so we thought we’d take a moment to look back at everything accomplished in our building and throughout the neighbourhood in the past year.

The Paul Phillips Hall has gone from being primarily theatre and shut down for COVID, to a bustling centre of theatre, music, festivals, book launches, poetry nights, acting classes, craft fairs, support groups, and so much more! Plus, we have acquired funding for the Hall to hire diverse performers and purchase new sound equipment. We have tons of events in the Hall throughout December, check them out at thefca.ca!

The Little Fernwood Gallery is booked throughout 2023 with local artists, thanks to our amazing volunteers on the Gallery Committee, whose equity model supports emerging artists and underserved populations. Keep your eyes out for the monthly community Artist Talks!

Garden St. and Chambers St. Community Gardens have welcomed four new gardeners, filtered through an

extensive waitlist, and are almost ready to open the waitlist to new names again! Plus, we added a new accessible watering station on Garden St.

The Land Use Committee has also been very busy, hosting five public hearings, two development walks throughout the neighbourhood, a roundtable event covering the Missing Middle Housing Initiative, and much more!

At our AGM this spring, we restructured our organization by amending 19 bylaws to ensure principles of accountability, inclusion, and democratic practices. We have revised all internal policies and agreements to use neutral language, as laid out by our new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy.

We have been so grateful to work together with Fernwood NRG in many ways, including sponsoring FernFest, working together to manage our community gardens, and welcoming their staff into offices in our building. Speaking of our building, it had many upgrades over the past year while we also brought the organization online. Stop by and say hello, we’ve opened our doors for more hours to better serve the neighbourhood.

The Unplugging runs at the Belfry from February 7 to March 5, 2023. Illustration courtesy of the Belfry Threatre.
