Local food sustainability
Produce garden, workshops just some of the Wildsightsponsored food security initiatives C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Food security is becoming more and more of a mainstream concept says Jessica Windle of Wildsight, who visited Kimberley City Council last week to talk about local food sustainability
and the Kimberley Open Garden. Council had heard some concerns from Rotary Drive residents about the look of the garden earlier in the year, but Windle assured them those issues had been resolved. The garden, located just behind the Aquatic Centre, is a public produce garden, meaning that rather than renting a plot and growing your own vegetables, a group works as a whole and shares the results. The garden broke ground in May and Windle told Council that
there had been about five work bees since then, drawing some 50 people and students from two different schools. The idea is to incorporate best practices, such as no-dig potato beds, mulch to control weeds, rainwater collection and more. A fence, which Windle says they are just waiting on city staff to complete, will help keep deer out, although she says another pest — ground squirrels — have become a bit of a problem.

Secondsteps Daycare participated in this years Julyfest parade. They won second place for their category. The children enjoyed decorating wagons with colorful handmade flowers and experienced the feeling of paint as they placed their handprints on the banner. The staff, children, and their families had a fun-filled time marching in the parade celebrating the daycare with the community of Kimberley.
A Cranbrook school teacher who bakes in her spare time has turned a hobby into a fully fledged second career where millions of people around the world learn from her. Jenn Johns has loved to bake all her
life, and started a custom cake-making business in Cranbrook in March 2011. Around the same time, she and her partner Paul Dalcanale began filming how-to baking videos in their home kitchen and posting them to YouTube with the channel name Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio. But a funny thing happened: the videos became a hit. In May 2013, YouTube chose Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio to compete in its monthly On The Rise contest for the chance to appear on the mega-website’s front page. At the time Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio had 35,000 subscribers. Today it has more then 450,000.
