"The market garden reminds me every day that it’s not all hopeless, that we can revolutionize the system to be sustainable, and we will get there through game-changing ideas like this schoolyard farm project, the urban agriculture movement, and I want to be part of creating that solution.”
Winnie Kwan, Student, David Thompson Secondary, 2014
