Meet Our Director general
I am delighted to advance our community with the development of 807 Food Co-op & Hub. The opportunity to lead a not for profit organization to support local production while addressing essential community needs is a great honor.
Working alongside community partners, we are reducing barriers to employment and improving volunteer outcomes with innovative, flexible strategies that can be implemented in rural communities across Canada. Thriving individuals lead to food security and promote a more inclusive community. That’s what we are here to support.
Striving to create grassroots systems by embracing diversity, interdependence, and the valuable contributions of individuals. Through these principles, our ultimate goal is to ensure our community's long-term success and resilience.
Our History
In 2021, local producers came together with a shared vision to build a better food system through a grassroots community development model that fosters self-sufficiency and social impact in Northwestern Ontario.
The 807 Food Co-op & Food Hub connects communities across Northwestern Ontario through not for profit services like underemployment training programs, winter lunches, skill building workshops and a food exchange hub for local food producers.
