Please note that this recording was originally a panel presentation, so you will hear cues like “next slide” and other such notes. You can always find the most recent issue of Roundup on the BCMA homepage, on the right side. A new issue of Roundup will be published online in October, featuring a reflection piece from Beth and Chief Dawson, along with our regular column from Tammy Bradford, and other articles featuring various projects from around the province!

In the early months of the global pandemic and amidst community lockdowns, the Council of the Haida Nation virtually gathered the community over a series of six webinars on food security. These webinars raised awareness of and highlighted emerging needs and conflicts relating to Haida Gwaii’s food system, and about food security and emergency preparedness for its residents. Over the course of the series it became clear there was a need for a coordinated food strategy and food policy toolbox. This kicked-off the development of the Haida Gwaii Food Strategy (HGFS), as administered by the Haida Gwaii Museum.   In this BCMA Podcast episode, hear from two Haida Gwaii residents engaged in these efforts to strengthen local, sustainable food systems and how the HGFS will, in part, serve as a public repository of local food system knowledge.   Music courtesy of Chad Crouch, The Sound Of Picture Production Library.
