Its finally here!
YWCA Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton presents
NOURISH PETERBOROUGH: A CELEBRATION OF COMMUNITY, FOOD SECURITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
at the newly renovated
Market Hall of Performing Arts (140 Charlotte Street)
Wednesday April 13th, 2011
starting at 6:00 pm, and ending at 9:00 pm
Come out for an evening of local food, music, theater and documentary film! Dinner provided by Food Not Bombs and Come Cook with Us. Enjoy a community meal to the sounds of Newmarket based traditional folk musician Roseanne Speckert, and Toronto based folk/indie artist Abigail Lapell. Local legend Gillian Turnham presents her all new theatrical performance exploring the themes of frontier, seeds, development and fertile spaces. The evening will conclude with a presentation of the much anticipated Nourish Peterborough, a documentary film that follows ten unique community groups from Peterborough who are advocating for food security and sovereignty. These are programs that have a substantial influence on many people’s lives, though many of them go overlooked and/or underfunded. Nourish Peterborough provides a platform for these organizations, giving members, participants, volunteers and staff, a louder voice in our community. This is community member Emily Blondin-Doan’s first film.
this is a FREE non-profit event, donations accepted
Funding for this event has been generously provided by the YWCA of Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton; the Market Hall Innovation Fund; the Centre for Gender and Social Justice. Thank you!

Emily was going to attach the nourish video to this website. We have been waiting for it as we would like to show our participants can you tell if that is still he plan?
Unfortunately, we won’t be posting the whole film to the site. A trailer will be up soon, though. If you need more copies, please feel free to contact me or the YWCA.
