Agenda and Reports

Greetings, Introductions, Acknowledgement of FN Territory

Canada Green New Deal Round Table

Meg’s Doc Project (AVTTS Letter of Support)

Gleaning: Proposal from R. Powelson re: equipment purchase

Possible partnerships for usage of fruit (Would Twin City Brewing consider the production of small batch local ciders?  Would the Shelter Farm/Society want to be involved with gleaning/processing as a work skills/job generator? What other possibilities might we consider?)

Housing: possible presentation by John Edmonson (stemming from April AVCSI meeting)

Education: Rob is interested in doing a presentation on urban permaculture. Still waiting on a possible talk by Guy on soil health, lots of great material on regenerative ag/carbon farming. Several films pending due to licensing matters and costs.
