After presenting our project proposal to our community partners at the meeting (You can view our project proposal here: https://blogs.ubc.ca/lfs350project09/?p=56), we also received constructive feedback from other members of the Canadian Olympic Game Organizers and the UBC Food Service representative via e-mail during the week of October 23. One of the key concerns was the scale of our project with our limited time. Our community partner felt that our proposal might be too broad with the limited time that is available to us for this project. They especially pointed out the food map we want to do for this project.

There will be another meeting with our community partner on November 5. Our goal for the next few weeks will be condensing our project proposal, making it more precise and feasible with our class schedule. With regard to our community partner’s concerns on food map in our project, our group decided we will be removing it from our project.  We were also told by our SEEDS program coordinator that there will be a sample food procurement project done by past LFS students available to us as a reference. Our group is really looking forward to this reference! It should be really helpful moving along our project.

Until next time, cheers!
