Project Summary
VCH public health dieticians collaborated with various food organizations in Metro Vancouver to create maps for five areas: Vancouver, Richmond, the North Shore, the Sunshine Coast, and Squamish-Lillooet. These maps display free and low-cost meals and grocery items, local community food organizations and gardens, cultural retail stores and markets, and various food programs. Instructions to use the maps are on the website and a translation of these can be found in Arabic, Chinese, and Vietnamese.
