The Edmonton Public Library (Edmonton Room) downtown
Donations accepted at the door

We have the honour of hosting this evening with Nettie Wiebe.
Nettie is a founding member of La Via CampesinaLa Via Campesina an international organization in support of the peasant farmer and food sovereignty.

Food Sovereignty is a concept aimed at ensuring farmers and local communities have control over their food systems and that these are fair and sustainable, with caring for the environment a vital key. Nettie Wiebe was the first female President of the Canadian National Farmers Union. She walks her talk based upon her background as a Canadian Farmer, an elected Canadian Politician and her work as an international activist for change.

“Agriculture is the junction of the need for food and saving our ecology”, says Ms Wiebe. “Family farms and farming families are on this ecological frontline.”

Please do not miss this incredible opportunity to listen to Nettie speak and to talk with her about these critical issues of our time.

Saturday June 19th 5:00 P.M.

Members Only Event

SOLD OUT!

Enjoy the longest night of the year with Sophia, our hot and tempestuous
wood-fired oven!

Pot Luck with a twist!

Instead of bringing prepared dishes, we need you to bring raw ingredients
(locally sourced) to be fired in the oven.

We will need your hands to help prepare the dishes, so be prepared to roll
up your sleeves!

• Roasted Vegetable Salad
• Oven Roasted Fowl
• Oven Roasted Potatoes
• Solstice Green Salad
• Roasted Fruit Compote with Pannacotta

How will it work?

We have oven room to feed 30 people. There is no cost for this event, other
than the ingredients you bring.

Just Email [email protected] with the number of persons that are attending

We will contact you with an ingredient list and the amount that we need you
to bring. Any special instructions for the ingredients/dish will be shared
at that time. Bring a beverage if you wish to partake, and we will supply
some as well. The address and directions will be supplied at that time.

Even if the weather is un-cooperative, we will still cook outside and enjoy
the meal inside!

Cheers!

Your hosts Colleen Ingoldsby and Vincent Roy
