I just got the agenda for upcoming #AsiaInVictoria #Summit. I'm excited to attend this #cultural #community conference!

I'm definitely taking part in the grant writing & fund development workshop. I haven't decided on the other workshops to take.

Maybe I will meet someone who speaks Teochew too! That would be so wonderful.

#LifecyclesProjectSociety #FruitTreeProject Update.

This year, we have harvested over 63,000 lbs of fruit! Of that, almost 32,000 lbs of Grade A fruit has been donated to the community, to over 70 community service agencies throughout the Greater Victoria Area. Our tree stewards have kept 4,500 lbs, and our amazing team of 191 Harvest Leads and Pickers have taken 13,000 lbs home. 

What about the other 13,500 lbs you ask? 

Made up of B-Grade, we have processed just over 7500 lbs into juice and jam. Some of the fruit is always C-Grade (compost). To date, we have composted just under 6000 lbs of fruit - while some of this has gone to our friends at Community Composting, the vast majority has gone to a local pig farmer.

We are proud to say no fruit has gone into the landfill!

It's from my friend, Jeff, whom I originally met off of Mastodon, back in 2022. We met in person in 2023 & exchanged plants🪴We've stayed friends over the years. We are working towards similar community building goals, in separate areas of the island. Ideally, would love to have a full food security, localized food systems 'spine', running West-East/South-North, across #VancouverIsland.
Jeff lives up island with his wife & kids. He also works in #nonprofit #FoodSecurity & #environmental #stewardship. He works for #Greenways #LandTrust in #CampbellRiver :

This shows some of the work they've done at Maple Park Community Garden in partnership with #Strathcona Regional District. They acquired that land to steward/grow, earlier this year 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾👏

#LifecyclesProject #FoodProcessing #Nonprofit #FoodSecurity #Fruits #Esquimalt #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #CommunitySharing #CommunityBuilding #CommunityWork

I'll be the solo #LifeCyclesProjectSociety representative at Food Future - Capital Region - General Public W4. Hosted/facilitated by #FutureXplorations Research Group - KPU, at Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion.

Join us in an unprecedented island-wide #initiative to build a resilient, #sovereign #FoodSystem rooted in #sustainability and #equity.

This is not just another project. It’s a call to action. Your voice matters. Your lived experience matters. Real change must come from the ground up—and we believe solutions must be shaped by those most impacted.

We are committed to empowering our communities and co-creating a future where everyone has access to healthy, locally-grown #food —no matter the political or economic climate.

This is your moment. Let’s come together. Let’s lead the way.

Join us. Speak up. Be part of the change.

#FreeEvent - please reserve your tickets in advance.

I'll be representing LifeCycles Project Society, solo, at this upcoming #BIPOC led #FreeCommunityEvent in Fernwood.

Seeds and Synergies. Cultural Foods meet the Good Food 2030 Strategy - please reserve your free tickets.
https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/seeds-and-synergies-cultural-foods-meet-the-good-food-2030-strategy-tickets-1641365461279

The #Seeds and #Synergies is a gathering that aims to bring together community members, growers, farmers, and farmers to be, facilitators, and partners from racialized groups to reflect on the role of #CulturallyRelevantCrops and #LandAccess in shaping the access of these groups to locally grown, healthy and nutritious foods, education, employment opportunities, income, and belonging to the land, to themselves and their communities.

For the past five years, #IyéCreative has been working with community members and local farmers to learn about cultural crops – plant relatives that carry deep meaning for our food, health, and traditions on Coast Salish lands. We’ve also been pushing for fairer land policies so more people can grow the foods and medicines that matter to them.

#CulturalFoods aren’t just products on a market, or grocery store shelf. They’re living connections that tie us to land, spirit, and each other.

We are inviting you to help us make this story come alive!

I've connected with a local #Vietnamese #nonprofit organization. I look forward to helping them expand their work here, in BC, across Canada & overseas, in Vietnam.

Soul of Vietnam Foundation is a non-profit organization under Societies Act based in #BritishColumbia #Canada, dedicated to fostering cultural understanding, supporting newcomers, & aiding impoverished communities in #Vietnam. Registered Number: S0080444

Work that VOV does:

Cultural Festivals and Celebrations:
Organizing traditional festivals, cultural performances, and art exhibitions to promote Vietnamese heritage and traditions.

Workshops and Seminars:
Conducting workshops on Vietnamese culture, language, and history for locals and tourists.

Cultural Exchange Programs:
Facilitating exchange programs that enable participants to experience and learn about different cultures within and outside Vietnam.

FREE Language Classes:
To facilitate smoother integration into Canadian society, we provide free English and French language classes. These classes are tailored to different proficiency levels and are designed to help newcomers gain confidence in their language skills.

FREE Settlement Services:
Our settlement services are dedicated to assisting newcomers with practical needs such as finding housing, securing employment, and navigating healthcare and education systems. Our team of experienced professionals is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

FREE Mentorship Programs:
We connect newcomers with established Vietnamese-Canadian mentors who offer guidance and support during their adjustment period. Our mentors provide valuable insights, share experiences, and help newcomers build a supportive network in their new community.

Educational Assistance Education:
Is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and educational programs to children from low-income backgrounds in Vietnam. Our goal is to create opportunities for these children to succeed academically and build a brighter future.

Community Development Projects:
Our community development projects focus on improving the quality of life in impoverished areas of Vietnam. From building clean water systems to developing sustainable agricultural practices, we work closely with local communities to create lasting positive change.

Help us rescue surplus fruit, reduce food waste, and share fresh, local produce with community members who need it most.

In 2024, we harvested 30,757 lbs of fruit with the help of 151 volunteers!

Through the #FruitTreeProject - we harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste—and ensure it reaches community members who need it most. By transforming how people engage with the Urban Orchard and with one another, we’re reimagining what a connected, resilient local food system can look like!

Your donation helps sustain this invaluable program, which has been operating since 1994 — a long-standing pillar of community care and food-sharing in the Greater Victoria Area.

Every contribution counts.
https://fruit-tree-project.raiselysite.com/

Running the Fruit Tree Project costs approximately $145,000 per year. Your donations directly support:

Wages for staff who coordinate harvests and volunteers

Coordination for fruit redistribution

Vehicle and fuel expenses to reach trees across the region

Insurance to keep everyone safe

Cold storage to preserve fruit

Help us rescue surplus fruit, reduce food waste, and share fresh, local produce with community members who need it most.

In 2024, we harvested 30,757 lbs of fruit with the help of 151 volunteers!

Through the #FruitTreeProject - we harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste—and ensure it reaches community members who need it most. By transforming how people engage with the Urban Orchard and with one another, we’re reimagining what a connected, resilient local food system can look like!

Your donation helps sustain this invaluable program, which has been operating since 1994 — a long-standing pillar of community care and food-sharing in the Greater Victoria Area.

Every contribution counts.

Running the Fruit Tree Project costs approximately $145,000 per year. Your donations directly support:

Wages for staff who coordinate harvests and volunteers

Coordination for fruit redistribution

Vehicle and fuel expenses to reach trees across the region

Insurance to keep everyone safe

Cold storage to preserve fruit

Website administration and outreach tools to connect with the community
