Subject: 3 days until the Food Justice Unconference
Hi there,
I would like to invite everyone to the second Food Justice Unconference on February 5th, 4-8, at the International Student Centre, 33 St. George. Dinner will be provided by the most awesome Hot Yam! This event is an attempt to consolidate and move forward food justice initiatives introduced at the last Food Justice Unconference in October. There will also be a few groups which were not present at the last Unconference, and everyone is free to bring new ideas to discuss or organize around.
Groups which will be present include:
Food Services and Sustainability
Campus Bee-Keeping
Building a Food Justice Committee at U of T
First Nations Food Security
No One Is Illegal Food Committee
As well, The University of Toronto Student’s Union Haiti Coalition is attempting to raise $50,000+ for relief efforts in Haiti. We will be collecting donations at the Unconference.
This event is the result of a collaboration between the University of Toronto Office of Student Life, Hart House, Food Services, the Hot Yam, and many awesome people in the Toronto community. Please come share, discuss, and contribute to building a just food system.
Don’t forget to register at http://www.facebook.com/l/c8100;www.studentlife.utoronto.ca/programs – we need to have a sense of how much food to make!
Walk-ins are welcome of course, but registration would be great.
