8 guests joined us to raise money for UBC Farm on November 20, 2008. The dinner went well and it looks like the Save the Farm Campaign is working! At the annual general meeting held earlier this month, UBC President Stephen Toope said, “The UBC Farm has to be part of the future of sustainability at UBC and for British Columbia, for the Lower Mainland and as a  demonstration for the rest of the world... I think we have an enormous opportunity presented by the existence of the farm. My vision is to imagine our whole campus as an experiment in sustainability and the farm has got to be at the heart of that.”

Thank you to all of you who have pitched in to help preserve the farm at UBC.
