The 3-day conference kicks off Thursday night with a presentation by Winona LaDuke: Food Sovereignty and the Green Economy: Challenges and Strategies for the Social Justice Movement. If you aren’t able to attend the entire conference, tickets for this event are $15.

Friday and Saturday have a large number of different sessions to attend. Highlights include:

  • Bushels of Apples – Enjoying & Preserving Prairie Apples
  • Growing a Permaculture Movement in Manitoba
  • Local Sustainable Food Resources 101
