Food Week is coming this September 9-16! Don’t miss out on this week long celebration on food and community.
Join us for an exciting evening where we will be serving up a free community meal of pasta and salad generously provided in part with support from Bona Roma, alongside the viewing of the documentary DESERTED. The viewing will be followed by a discussion to share our thoughts, led by City of Calgary community social worker, Clara Yuen.
DESERTED is a short film that investigates the issue of food deserts in Nova Scotia and how food deserts impact food insecurity in both urban and rural areas of the province. Taking a cross-cultural view, the film follows several Nova Scotians who live in food deserts and looks at the challenges and solutions.

This event is part of Neighbourhood Food Week – a week-long celebration and exploration of free food fun in Bowness, Greenwood Village, and Montgomery. Neighbourhood Food Week is made possible in part with generous support from the Community Hubs Initiative: A partnership between The City of Calgary and United Way of Calgary with Rotary as a founding partner, and the Arusha Centre’s Climate Action Grant.
