For this webinar, we are talking about Community Fridges! With the ethos “take what you need, leave what you can” , community fridges are grassroots and community driven solutions that are popping up all over in Atlantic Canada. Existing in small towns and large urban neighbourhoods, community fridges are about community members feeding each other. Come learn from three fridges who can provide insights into how to start a community fridge, challenges to look out for, and what unexpected joys come from this mutual aid strategy.
Let’s get all the community fridges in one room!
Season 2 of our webinars series takes a ‘how-to’ focus, where we learn how local people are putting big ideas into practice. Episode one of this season welcomes Wyanne Sandler of the Antigonish Community Fridge, Samantha Galvin of the Eastern Passage Community Fridge, et Christene Nottegar of Dartmouth Community Fridge.
Bob Cervelli from the Centre for Local Prosperity will moderate and we will begin with an interview/panel discussion, followed by a Q&A.
This webinar series is by donation – our recommended donation is $10, but any amount is appreciated! A Zoom link and calendar invitation will be sent after you register.
Webinar context:
The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, leaving many individuals and communities with a sense of uncertainty, and in many cases, worry. How do we respond to this rapidly changing world? How do we strengthen our local agency and resilience, socially, economically, and ecologically? In our current context of trade partner volatility and imposed tariffs that threaten to worsen the financial realities within our communities, we want to shine a light on thriving examples of re-localization in our region!
Re-localization is a concept and movement with an aim to become more self-reliant in our production and consumption (while reducing reliance on distant supply chains) in every category — from energy, to food, to finance/investment, to climate solutions, and beyond.
This series will be held on the last Thursday of each month and will explore examples of re-localization across Atlantic Canada.
