Ustlahn Community Kitchen

Description: 
I first learned about this organization by way of a local newspaper in my community, the North Shore News.  There was an article titled: A harvest of healing: Growing food and changing lives in the Squamish Nation from October 3, 2011.  This organization provides many services to the members of the Squamish Nation which include improving the health/wellness of its community, operating a community kitchen (which provides healthy meals) and cultivating a community garden.  The organization focuses on youth participation to tend the garden as well as train them with the culinary skills necessary to maintain the community kitchen.  The main focus of the kitchen is providing healthy meal planning and food preparation skills (including food safety) that will promote a healthy lifestyle.  Many people taking advantage of the community kitchen cannot afford to prepare meals for themselves or lack the skills necessary to do so.
