EVERY BITE PROJECT

The Every Bite Project, in partnership with Nature Regina, is pleased to announce the 2022 Every Bite Affects the World Local Action Award recipients. This one-time award recognizes the work these local organizations are doing to increase people's understanding and skills around food sovereignty, helping people discover the connections between the food we eat, our own health, and the health of other living beings and the environment. The award recipients are:

​

• North Central Community Association - Community Gardens

• Heritage Community Association - 11th Avenue Art Park

• Prairie Sky School - Food Forest and Mural

• Buffalo People Arts Institute

​

The award includes a cash donation of $800 to each recipient, and opportunity to share their story as part of a social media video series, to be produced by Nature Regina over the coming months.  These 2–3-minute videos will be shared on social media including Facebook and Instagram. The series aims to highlight these great examples of local community actions and inspire others to action.

 

The Every Bite Project is inspired by the book Every Bite Affects the World: an earth care cookbook for joyful, mindful eating, by Catherine Verrall and friends, published in 2014. The Every Bite Local Action Awards are funded through the proceeds of book sales and legacy donations made to the Every Bite Project in memory of Catherine Verrall.

 

Catherine Verrall (1929 – 2021) was well known in Regina's environmental activist community. The Local Actions Awards honour her life-long commitment to environmental and social justice and education and continue the journey of growing awareness and action.
