Local Foods Festival
From Common Energy UVic
This is a project of the Food Working Group
The Local Foods Festival is planned to take place in September 2008. The project will encompass many smaller projects into a large, visible, and very fun festival! The core of the festival will be to sign up 'locavores': members of our community who pledge to eat local foods for the entire course of the festival (perhaps 3 weeks long). Each pledge will be allowed a small limited number of excempt items (such as coffee, tea, olives, chocolate, etc.). This sort of 'Eat Local Challenge' has occurred in several communities, notably Powell River. We hope to raise awareness of local foods in our community and create some lasting food habits while having a lot of fun in the process. (Please feel free to add suggestions or other ideas)
We have created a PDF document that was sent out to other food groups in the area, it is available here.

We are still in the early stages of the event planning, and the event can become as big as we want to make it. If you are interested in helping please email food 'at' uvic.commonenergy.org. We would love more help!
