One Straw: The Salmon Project
Join Kwa’tle’maht, Holly Ann Higgins and Xwu’p’a’lich, Barb Higgins in an opportunity to spend a hands-on day in the kitchen with indigenous elders, learning, canning, chopping, and chatting. Roll up your sleeves, because at the end of this, you will have salmon on your hands, on your shirt, and hopefully canned in neat stacks of jars that will help feed our community. Together we will learn to pressure can proteins safely, the differences between varieties of salmon, and spiritual and salmon traditions of the local land, waters and people.
This day is about story-telling, connecting to the local and sacred traditions of calling the salmon home, and giving gratitude. It’s about reconciliation – gently building relationships, bridges and mutual respect, growing to a place where we not only *see* each other, but truly honour what each is bringing to the table. In this case, quite literally the kitchen table.
Lunch provided (salmon of course). Very limited space available.

One Straw: Small Scale Food Processing (Zoom Speaker Series #4)
Food processing is an important part of any food system; whether global and conventional or small scale and local. Food processing can help transform products and ‘add value’ to them offering increased economic opportunities to local businesses. Food processing can also help preserve food that might otherwise be wasted by transforming it into more shelf stable formats.
But it’s not a simple as– can something, freeze something and sell something. There are a host of things to consider when we examine the role of small scale food processing on the Sunshine Coast
Join us on January 13th when we have a chat with knowledgeable parties to learn more about the possibilities and limitations of food processing in our region.
