Community Partner: South Vancouver Neighbourhood House
Student Researchers:
Noah Tsang is a second-generation Cantonese Canadian settler studying Food, Nutrition, and Health at the University of British Columbia.
Sabrina Qistina is a first-generation mixed-race Malaysian settler studying Geography at the University of British Columbia.
This toolkit was developed in response to the South Vancouver Neighbourhood House’s (SVNH) call for deeper understanding and increased funding to advance food justice in South Vancouver. It offers practical guidance and best practices for equitable food justice work, focusing on understanding local needs, fostering meaningful community engagement, and addressing the root causes of food insecurity in so-called “Vancouver.” Designed for non-profits, academic institutions, and individuals passionate about community food initiatives, this resource aims to empower you to drive community-led solutions to food justice challenges. We would like to thank Joey Liu and Prabhi Deol from SVNH for their immense guidance and support throughout this project, as well as Vanessa Pat for graphic visual design.
