The Central Cariboo Community Food Hub will be screening the film Tea Creek in Williams Lake on March 7 in the Cariboo Memorial Complex's Gibraltar Room.
The film follows Jacob Beaton as he sets out to build a training centre for Indigenous food sovereignty and trades on his family farm in what is now called northern British Columbia. The film, directed by Ryan Dickie, explores the ongoing impacts of colonization and how Beaton and his team work to overcome these barriers while healing and reconnecting with the land.
Food sovereignty is Indigenous peoples' right to access and control the production and consumption of their own food. The Tea Creek initiative is recognized internationally for its impact in working towards revitalizing Indigenous food systems and the abundance which once defined Turtle Island (North America) while helping Indigenous people heal.
Doors open at 5:15 p.m., and the film will start after a short opening presentation at 5:30 p.m. The Film is expected to run until 7:30 p.m.
Reserve your spot for free by registering on Eventbrite, and learn more about the film at teacreekfilm.ca.
The Central Cariboo Community Food Hub builds connections between food producers, organizations and community members in the Central Cariboo to enhance food security, support a resilient local food economy, and create stigma-free access to healthy, culturally-appropriate foods.
