While Chilliwack's rich soil makes it prime land for growing food, it's also a place where many families face food insecurity.

I got involved with the Downtown Chilliwack Community Market because everyone should have have the ability to feed their families with dignity. I'm incredibly proud that we've partnered with the BC Association of Farmer's Markets and local organizations to give away more than $100,000 worth of food in the past four years.

I support the efforts and goals of Chilliwack Healthier Community to address local and regional food security. The community food hub and a national school lunch program will be important to food security, as will addressing the high cost of living: Families are impacted by high rents, transportation challenges and increased food prices, as well as high prices for everything else.

The community food hub needs a permanent home and increased funding, while our farmers and producers need support.  I will work towards these goals when I'm elected.
