As part of Roots for Resilience, a new pan-Canadian program in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, we are working with two communities in the Bay St. George area in southwestern Newfoundland. Staff from The Resilience Institute (TRI) and the Canadian Red Cross were invited last October to attend a two-day conference on food security in Stephenville, NL, to learn about what people across Newfoundland and Labrador are doing to build resilient food systems.
Our team returns to Stephenville this spring to meet with community members, further explore some of the local climate-induced hazards, and work towards co-developing meaningful strategies to combat these risks.
