The Importance of Urban Natural Spaces

Sarah DeLano will speak about the importance of urban natural spaces as they relate to food systems and environmental and social equity. She will discuss two recent research projects she has been involved in: An urban berry picking project with the Métis Nation of Alberta Environment Department and a community-based research project completed at the U of A, and in collaboration with the Multicultural Family Resource Society. The latter involved the creation of a place-based recipe book that features produce we can grow and forage right here in Edmonton.  

Doors open at 6:30 pm, Speaker at 7:00 pm. This event will also be presented on Zoom for people who can’t attend in person. Non-Members can purchase a ticket below. Members can go here for the link.
