This summer I worked as a garden intern for Nourish in Peterborough. When I wasn’t at the garden, I was trying to answer the question “what are the hidden costs of cheap food?” I only had the vaguest idea what that meant when I first started. Is it something related to the environment? Food security? Health? It was my job to figure it out.
We asked Marjory how people in Peterborough could be more connected and she didn’t hesitate with her answer: “through food”. She believes that events where food is served, such as seasonal dinners hosted by Nourish, bring people together and help them feel that they are part of something; a community.
Nourish is delighted to have had the opportunity to participate in Peterborough Children’s Water Festival. The festival celebrated its 17th anniversary. It brought thousands of local students to the Peterborough Riverview Park and Zoo to learn where water goes, how it's treated, how animals rely on it and more. There was an activity centre for everything! You could literally see students thinking and making connections with how we should treat water.
