Vancouver Coastal Health Community Food Action Initiative : Evaluation Report Social Planning and Research Council of British Columbia.; Beck, Tony

Abstract

This report presents the findings of an evaluation of the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Community Food Action Initiative (CFAI), a health promotion initiative that supports community-led solutions to improve food security in VCH communities. The VCH CFAI has funded ‘ground-up’ approaches to improving food security in VCH communities with a focus on vulnerable populations since 2005. The findings of this independent evaluation demonstrate that the VCH CFAI has met its objectives. It is a valued source of core funding and has catalyzed hundreds of classes, workshops, celebrations, gardens, community kitchens, partnerships and learning events for thousands of people in rural and urban communities in the VCH region.
