Celebrate the history and future of food in the False Creek Flats at Evergreen’s Urban Orchard! Enjoy delicious apple varieties from the Vancouver Fruit Tree Project, and learn about medicinal and edible native plants. Bob for apples, indulge in some tasty cider and learn new recipes made with local ingredients. Get your heels tapping to folk music, and participate in a First Nation’s blessing and drumming performance. Visit the crafts table, help create a community mural, and don’t forget to stick around for door prizes!

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
