Survey

We are seeking your feedback as we update the Vancouver Park Board 2013 Local Food Action Plan (plan). 

The plan was adopted in 2013 to help guide the Park Board to become a leader in supporting and growing local, sustainable food. It was written by a Task Force including staff, community leaders, community organizations, and advisory councils. The plan had 4 priorities, 8 goals and 55 actions and provided a framework for the management and enhancement of park-based food assets and services such as: community or learning gardens, urban orchards, native berry shrubs, food and gardening programs, community kitchens, food access programs, markets, concession stands, partnerships, funding, and food events. 

All of this helps people to grow, prepare, share, buy, or learn about food locally. 

The new plan will guide how Park Board contributes to a just and sustainable local food system through its network of parks, facilities, programs, and community connections. We hope the new plan will also reflect several City of Vancouver and Park Board priorities that have emerged since 2013 including: a commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and an increased focus on Indigenous food systems; an equity and access-based approach; a focus on resilience to climate change, emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic.

We want to know what you value and envision for the future when it comes to park-based food assets and services. Your feedback will help us determine priorities, goals and actions for the next 5-year plan. 

The survey will remain open until January 28, 2021. A print version of the survey is also available on the right hand side of the main page under "documents". Paper copies and also available at the front desk of the Park Board main office at 2099 Beach Ave.
