Urban Oasis

Jane and Finch, an area in the northwest corner of Toronto, is one of the city’s most densely populated areas. It’s also a food desert—somewhere with limited access to affordable and nutritious food. Black Creek Community Farm is doing everything it can to change that. This week, Christina Hoang, an Urban Harvest assistant, introduces us to the farm where she works and the people that benefit from it, whether through community-building, after school activities, or nutritious food. How can giving a community control over their own resources change their world for the better? This is Black Creek Community Farm’s paradigm.
