For our April Sierra Club Chinook meeting, we have a discussion panel on food policy, featuring:

• Paul Hughes — Local food advocate, urban chicken activist, chair of the Calgary Food Policy Council, and mayor candidate for Calgary's Fall 2010 election.
• Tim Hoven — The Organic Beef Guy who grows Certified Organic Beef. Tim is President of Slow Food Calgary and co-owner of Blue Mountain Bio-Dynamic Farm, an organic farming co-operative near Carstairs, AB. He is also the co-founder of the new Kingsland Farmers Market, scheduled to open this summer in Calgary.
• Kris Vester — Politics, Economics and Local Food Systems guru

The Sierra Club Chinook Group holds a free, monthly public meeting at 7 pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the Calgary Area Outdoor Council building (1111 Memorial Drive NW, upstairs, entrance at the back).
