Waterloo Region Food News  
   
The Roundtable's Food Spaces, Vibrant Places campaign continues to gain momentum. We're posting new content to our Twitter and Facebook pages daily, and stories to our website weekly. This week's story is about Heather, a gardener from Kitchener, who is frustrated with how difficult it can be to set up a new community garden in the city. Her story demonstrates the need for our campaign for more supportive municipal policies for community gardens and temporary farmers' markets. If you haven't already signed our petition, please do it today, and spread the word to your friends!
