A few local city councillors have said they are interested which is great, Dan Mcteague specifically. Due to a previously scheduled engagement Ben will be unable to attend as Chair of the DFPC.
Here is a key to the memorandum.
(This memorandum is an understanding regarding a joint partnership to protection and promotion of traditional knowledge, lands and environments that are related and directly connected to the production and growth of traditional diets for our two communities)
