• Food Security and U-picking Summer Eats

  Date: 2010.09.24 | Category: Civic Footprint | Response: 0

  One of my favourite late summer activities is to take a drive out to the many vegetable farms west of Toronto and hand-pick fresh, local produce. One of my all-time favourite spots is Ferket’s, just outside of London, Ontario.

  
  The drive to Ferket’s is convenient for me, since we often v Viagra levitra isit family in London and St. Thomas. Ferket’s, in a word, is a dream. It is a privilege to show up at a place that has seemingly endless veggie options, all available Kauf von viagra to be hand-picked, sometimes in the mud, by you. Levitra pas cher There are fresh vegetables as far as you can possibly see – from giant squash to tiny, delicate habernaro peppers. Prospecto levitra

  I will admit th Brand viagra at I did go a little overboard with my selections this year. Pastillas levitra You’ll see from the photo below that the only way to wash all of my new produce was to stick it in our bathtub. That’s right, the bathtub. Levitra prix pharmacie What’s even more amazing is that this entire lot of vegetables only cost me $27. Buying directly from the source and picking the vegetables myself meant I collected over 60lbs of food for only $27.

  

  

  Selecting Roma Tomatoes from Ferkets

  I have always regarded this trip as a foodie adventure; a chance to pick out the best possible produce for an affordable price. The trip to various farms gives me an opportunity to find more about where the food I eat comes from, and some unique ways to cook and store the Levitra contraindicaciones food for the long, cold winter.

  In what seems to be interesting timing, just after finishing my last canning project, Dave at Meal Exchange emailed our team to let us know about MX’s new Food Security quiz. I am passionate about local food issues, but admit that I was not aware of some of the key components that define Food Security in Canada – challenges of Accessibility, Availability and Acceptability.  Quality of food matters, the ability to purchase food at an affordable rate, in a local accessible area matters. Viagra sin receta And there is a lot we can do to learn more Viagra alternatives about food sustainability. Purchase viagra online Viagra bestellung My trip to Ferket’s became all that more relevant as I learn more about food challenges affecting Canadians. There are ways for Canadians to eat better food at an affordable rate, but it’s certainly not always easy. Levitra pill Viagra sale I encourage you to check out Meal Exchange’s Food Security quiz to learn more.

  As a nerdy side note, Meal Exchange has just launched their brand new trickoreat.ca. Not only is it a great resource for MX’s star event, but the site itself is a geeky achievement. The Trickoreat site is build on WordPress, with c Viagra for women ontent populated from Twitter and Flickr feeds. It’s also tied into Salesforce.

  Last night we had a great group of people come out to celebrate the last week Viagra for women before the 3rd Vancouver Timeraiser.  A big thank s Levitra pill Viagra bestellung to Vantage Point for hosting us at their office downtown.  Vantage Point has been our Community Partner since the 1st Vancouver Timeraiser in 2008, and is also home to the art work Levitra pas cher during the 12 month pledge period.  It was fun to see the new pieces coming in and taking a look at the 2009 artwork that will be going to new homes next week.

  Guests enjoy conversation and artwork at the 2010 Vancouver Kick Off Party

  Over a dozen artists were in attendance to drop off their artwork and pick up their cheques.  It was great to put a face to the talent, and everyone in attendance marveled at this year’s selection of work. Online levitra Kauf von viagra

  Since the night of the Timeraiser is really focused on connecting volunteers and organizations, the Kick Off night is a great opportunity to shine the light on the art element of the Timeraiser and acknowledge the important contribution of artists to making our cities vibrant, exciting and unique.  We’re very proud that we have corporate partners that allow us to invest directly in the careers of artists.  And since the artists have all been paid fair market value for their work, when they attend the Timeraiser they can really just enjoy the evening, connect with art lovers and watch as multiple people pledge to do volunteer time to ‘earn’ their work.

  The Kick Off night therefore allows us to highlight this relationship – Timeraiser sponsors are investing directly in the careers of artists.  And since our National Presenting partner, WestJet, is vital to our Vancouver program, we were stoked to have the local representative from WestJet, Sam Martorana, out at the Kick Off night last night.  He’ll be rallying his colleagues at from WestJet’ s Vancouver office to come out next week.

• 2010 United Way Toronto Campaign Target: $113 Million

  Date: 2010.09.08 | Category: Capacity Building, Civic Footprint | Response: 0

  This morning United Way Toronto announced its 2010 Campaign target of $113 million dollars. I’ve been involved with United Way Toronto for several years now, contributing both my time and money plus ‘allocating’ some of my organizations’ resources to assist the work of United Way member agency work (visit www.timeraiser.ca).

  Like many Torontonians who contribute each year, I am continually impressed by United Way Toronto’s effectiveness.
  Whether it is the research and policy work such as predatory lending practices that resulted in major legislative protection for Ontarians (See Bill 48) or investing in the highly productive Action for Neighbourhood Change program, few organizations can demonstrate such impact for each dollar raised as United Way Toronto.
