LET’S TALK ABOUT FOOD ACCESS IN WARD 9 - Order your map today!

Ward 9 is home to some of the absolute best and most diverse mixed-use neighbourhoods in the city. Abundant multi-cultural food producers and restaurants, innovative urban farming leaders, and thoughtful community resources all working together to improve food security and reconnect Calgarians to our local food system.

But there are also food challenges associated with poverty and accessibility that have continued to worsen as the cost of living and inflation persistently outpace wages.

We worked with local Ward 9 artist Kelsey Fraser, and graphic designer Kaitlyn Pilloud to bring this map to life. The result is a snapshot in time as to the state of food access in Ward 9 as well as the beginning of a conversation as to how we may best reintegrate food back into a more resilient understanding of our habitat.

You can view a digital copy of the map online or order a free printed copy to be mailed to you using the following link.

Additionally, beginning the week of February 27th, you are welcome to pickup a printed map from one of our community partners. Stay tuned as more pickup locations will be added soon.
