Where’s the Food, Barrhaven? April 17th, 2012

Click on the link below to download the PDF version of the final report, “Where’s the Food? A Compilation of Food Resources for Barrhaven“.

The Where’s the Food? Barrhaven Report documents the research findings of a community food security assessment project in Barrhaven. It outlines many of the food resources currently available in Barrhaven.

The aim of this project was to answer the following questions:

  • How are we as a community growing, gathering and preparing food?
  • Where do we buy food?
  •  What are the barriers to accessing healthy food and how does our community respond?

It was made possible through the hard work and collaboration of a group of Barrhaven residents, with the assistance of the South Nepean Community Health Centre, the Nepean, Rideau & Osgoode Community Resource Centre, and Food for All (a project of Just Food and the University of Ottawa).
