Food Learning Project Grows into Way of Life

The North is home to sub-zero temperatures for more than half the year,
with some high Arctic communities only having two or three months with a
climate acceptable for growing vegetables, herbs and fruit outside.
.
However, through some local initiatives which took place in communities
throughout the NWT from October to March, residents have learned how to
produce fresher, better tasting and more nutritious food than what is
imported. Whether it's through hunting, fishing, purchasing meat from
someone in the community or planting fruits and vegetables in an indoor,
outdoor or greenhouse garden, the North can eat more locally than some
might think.
.
The Local Food Learning and Leadership Project is officially over, with
funding from Health Canada, which Ecology North obtained through the
territorial Department of Health and Social Services, running out at the
end of March. But many communities are transferring the knowledge and
skills learned and heading into the spring and summer months with new
initiatives of their own.
.
"The funding has ended but the goals behind it continue," said Shannon
Ripley, environmental scientist at Ecology North. "The goal is to support
people in the NWT in growing more of their own food and learning about
different techniques that they're interested in related to growing their
own food and to encourage leadership development."
.
Five co-ordinators planned locally-grown, food-related projects in
communities such as permaculture expert Susie Wegernoski in Fort
Resolution; market gardener Jackie Milne in Hay River; Teresa Chilkowich
who headed prenatal programs in Fort Simpson; and Kirsten Bradley of Fort
Smith who grew plants with the Aboriginal Head Start Program and organized
a seed and garden fair.
.
For Bradley, although the funding has stopped flowing, the project has
planted an interest in the community that is now germinating on its own.
.
"It was just timing. People in the community were really, really excited
about this project. As much as anything, it was timing and it was fun to
be there and provide knowledge and equipment that people wanted and needed
and information," she said.
.
Bradley planted peas, carrots, radishes, beans and tomatoes with the
three- to six-year-olds, explaining the importance of water, sunlight and
healthy soil. An indoor gardening club was established at Joseph Burr
Tyrrell Elementary School and Bradley is hoping to introduce fall
gardening workshops at Paul William Kaeser High School and, depending if
space is available, develop an indoor garden at the Fort Smith Public
Library.
