Events and Happenings in South Georgian Bay

Hi Folks, Just wanted to make you aware of a few events and such coming up here in South Georgian Bay.

First, we have the next meeting of the Georgian Bay Food Alliance coming up soon.  Stop by the Collingwood Library and check out the display of food based art all month! The meeting will be held at the Collingwood Public Library, Tuesday February 25th, 6:30-8:30pm in the Community Room.  There will be refreshments, snacks and Conversations!

Second we have "Food and Water First" which is an organization dedicated to Farmland preservation.  They are hosting a breakfast meeting, all welcome to attend.  It will be held on February 26th from 8:30-10am, with coffee and flapjacks for $15 in Singhampton.  For more information, please email jbiggins@unitedwaygsc.ca

Lastly, The Housing Resource Centre is undertaking an online survey to obtain the opinions of our residents within the Georgian Triangle and the Orillia area. The survey will help the Housing Resource Centre to assess the services and programs we provide and give us a better understanding of the issues facing our communities. The survey will also provide us with a picture of how we are doing as a service provider in our communities.

We value your opinion and ask that you take the time to complete this survey.  You can take the survey on-line between February 9^th through to, and including, February 17^th, 2014 at this site: housingmatters.questionpro.com.

Each person taking the survey will be entered into a draw for a chance to win 1 of 2 E-readers, a gift certificate for an oil change package, or 1 of 3 gift certificates for 2 medium sized pizzas plus crazy bread and sauce, or as I would like to say… dinner!!!

We look forward to receiving your feedback and thank you in advance for your participation.

Your support continues to enable us to make a positive difference in the lives of many!  Thank you for choosing to help make that difference! 

Collingwood Pack Updates, February

 Here is an article published this week in the Collingwood Connection:



Good Food Box looks for new home in Collingwood



In a follow up to that story, we have had an organization come forward to assist us with space, but this will not take place until the March pack.  We are confident this is a long term arrangement, and grateful for the kind efforts of this organization.



For February, all orders placed before Thursday February 6th will be honoured.  These individual orders will be delivered by our volunteers to the address listed on the order envelope.  We will not have a public pick up location for February. 



All bulk orders will be packed and picked up in Stayner, at St Patrick's Parish Hall, 11:00-1. 



We want to thank you for your continued support of the GGFB as we work to overcome the challenges of finding a permanent pack location. We are optimistic this search is over, but thank you nonetheless for your continued patiennce and support.



If you have any questions, or need clarification, please email us at gfoodbox@gmail.com or call Joan at 705-445-9660.



Thanks again!
