<font size="2">On September 10th, 2006, the Ecology Action Centre’s
Food Action Committee will be holding their Second Annual September
Harvest Festival in Victoria Park (Spring Garden Rd.) in downtown
Halifax. This event will be free to the public in an effort to promote
and celebrate locally grown food in a festive environment.</font>
<font size="2"> </font>
<p class="eac"><font size="2"><font size="2">The goal of the event is
to foster connections between food producers and those that purchase
their products. A variety of farmers and food enthusiasts will be on
hand with an array of delicious foods produced in Nova Scotia. People
will have the opportunity to interact with producers in an informal and
celebratory setting, ask questions, as well as to sample and purchase
available products. This highly anticipated, festival-style event will
include live music, theatre, guest speakers, games and food sampling.
To continue the theme of sustainable living, there will be
presentations of renewable energy sources on site. This event is sure
to whet the appetite of passers-by and leave them better informed about
the value of local food, and their ability to shape current agriculture
practices through their purchasing decisions<i>. </i></font></font></p>
