CNC launches survey to strengthen community’s food security and independence

As the cost of groceries increase, Prince George residents have become familiar with empty shelves at the grocery store during the past few years. Many have become curious about local food security.

To assess the impact of grocery inflation on households and people’s knowledge of food security, the College of New Caledonia (CNC), is launching a survey. Shelby Roberts, Research Associate at CNC’s Applied Research and Innovation department is working with the Public Health Association of BC with funding from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

Roberts says, “Food is directly liked to health.” By documenting what food sources people are accessing, and what their limitations are, solutions to better address the gaps can be explored.

Data gathered from the survey may influence what courses are offered at the college, from wild food harvesting, to gardening in the Prince George climatic zone. The survey can be found on CNC’s website here, is open until March 1st, and a participant will win a $100 gift card.

Celtic Fire: Season 19 Episode 16 - THE FINAL EPISODE

In this final episode of Celtic Fire, I am playing a selection of memorable songs to me from people who made a big impact on my life. I am also playing songs with messages here and there. Tune in for songs from Tide Lines, elder Peter Jack MacLean of Cape Breton, The Barra MacNeils, Martyn Bennett and more.

The song I play by The Rovers says it best...in title only...Wasn't That A Party? :-)

Bliadhna Mhath Ur dhuibh! Happy New Year!

I hope that you enjoyed what I offered.

I doubt that I am finished with CFUR - you never know. I might be back with another show. Radio has been a huge part of my life since I was a wee lad.

Take care of yourselves AND EACH OTHER. Don't forget your humanity and treat everyone with respect and dignity regardless of ethnic origins, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We are all in this together.

Over and out…and things… :-)
