KITIMAT - At just over 180 days old, the Kitimat Food Share program is setting their sights on establishing a farmer’s market and community garden in Kitimat. Liz MacDonald presented their plan for stage two of the food share program while talking of the program’s success since it began last November. They’ve shared over 47,705 lbs of food, she said, and have

fed close to 14,000 people from Kitimat and Kitamaat Village. Kitimat council has directed administration to accommodate plans for a farmer’s market at Mountainview Square’s parking lot, as well to come back to council on a report regarding the plans for a community garden in the same complex. MacDonald said that they already have approximately 25 vendors interested in selling in a Kitimat market. “We’re hoping to have a pub-

lic market every second Sunday in Kitimat and our goal, in the long run, is to have Mountainview Square become a public market place.� MacDonald envisioned a place where families could come and eat meals at picnic tables. “Kitimat needs a bright space, a sort of a picnic place in the downtown area, and in front of the mall is not going to be that.� The enclosed area of Mountainview Square is easy and cen-

tral, she said, and will allow participation from mental health patients and multi-level care residents. Talk is also ongoing to have Kildala Elementary School participate in some fashion as well. The proposal was universally well received by councillors at last week’s meeting. Mary Murphy told MacDonald that she hopes it happens because there are a lot of older people in Kitimat who cannot look after their own gardens.
