Many of our current food systems, while full of good intentions have inadvertently deepened inequity, and have harmed our planet.

We facilitated another education workshop this week and summer watering and maintenance plans for school gardens are being established.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>In the future we would like to see this program expand. Having more Connectors to reach more schools would hugely benefit our region. The rebuilding process post-pandemic has been slow with most schools requiring support to facilitate any food-based curricular or extracurricular activities. Community Connectors provided helping hands to ignite, facilitate, and promote the importance of food literacy and food based programs in schools. The CC program also allowed us as a circle member and community organization to reconnect with schools after Covid.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>The Headwaters Learning Circle would not have been possible without the guidance and financial support received from Farm to Cafeteria Canada and the backbone support of Headwaters Communities in Action. For these foundational partnerships we are extremely thankful.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>We would like to express our gratitude for the land that holds us, the people who came before us, the food that nourishes us, the community members who cheer us on, and the children who make our hearts sing. May we continue to weave a stronger and kinder community together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7eec88\" data-id=\"d7eec88\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8b2628 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b8b2628\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LCMTGSHELBURNE-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1393\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LCMTGSHELBURNE-1.png 480w, https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LCMTGSHELBURNE-1-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Learning Circle meeting September 2022<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6eb16bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6eb16bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/unnamed3.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1396\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/unnamed3.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/hffa.ca\/farmtoschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/unnamed3-169x300.jpeg 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">You\u2019re the Chef Program <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51c3edc elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"51c3edc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0963319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0963319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Headwaters Learning Circle Vision:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0db761a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0db761a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All students have opportunities to experience, learn about, celebrate and be nourished by local food;
