Welcome
The Sea to Sky Community Food Website has been developed to facilitate food connections throughout the Sea to Sky region. A primary focus is food security. This means different things to different people: access to enough food each day, access to fresh and healthy food, local food or organic food. It is our hope that this website will provide a space to share resources, initiatives and ideas that will benefit individuals, families and the community.
Our community is wonderfully diverse. This area is within the traditional lands of the Skwxwú7mesh, Lil’wat and In-SHUCK-ch First Nations. It includes the communities of Pemberton, D’arcy, Douglas, Mt. Currie, Skatine, Samahquam, Whistler, Squamish and Britannia Beach. There is a long and varied history of food production in this region. As life becomes increasingly complex, and needs become more diverse, it is becoming ever more important to reconnect with traditional sources of food and food production while also exploring new and innovative means to meet our growing need for affordable, healthy food.
Please enjoy, explore and share the bounty our community has to offer. In the spirit of community and collaboration, we eagerly encourage participation, engagement and feedback.
Please contact communityfoodaction@sscs.ca if you have items you’d like to post, comments or questions.
