Donor Story: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet adipiscing

The centre opened officially in summer 2021, but the partnership between CFCC and the remote Indigenous community began four years earlier, with a focus on capacity building and creating connection through traditional food practices and traditions. The second Indigenous-led CFC in the country, Turnor Lake & Birch Narrows joins Nataoganeg in Brunswick and Qajuqturvik in Iqaluit, Nunavut, as well as 49 other Good Food Organizations in the Indigenous Knowledge Sharing Circle and the Indigenous Advisory Council.

Sylvestre and the centre take a strength-based approach to the work. There are high levels of food insecurity, but there is also deep knowledge and tradition in the community. The CFC provides both a physical place to gather and share, and an opportunity to tap into the wisdom of the people and land, bringing young and old together.
“Our Elders mean the world to me,” says Sylvestre. “So every time I do a food box delivery, I bring one of the youth along with me. They need to experience this.”
