August 26, 2023 - BVFA Food Charter Booth - Exshaw Community Market
The BVFA will host a booth at the Exshaw Community Markets on June 24, July 22, and Aug 26, 2023. We are looking for folks to help us set up our booth, chat about food, help us record conversations and tear down our booth on all three days. We will encourage conversations about the Bow Valley Food Charter values, understanding 'local' food systems and value-based procurement.
