Through this program, thanks to the BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program, we’re able to provide parents with vouchers to the Squamish and Pemberton Farmers Markets. The BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program is supported by the Province of BC and the provincial Health Services Authority.
“The lunch was so helpful as a new mom. I would say above all, the woman-to-woman support that is bred from these activities was the most valuable aspect of HPOP. Food brings people together, and often having a new baby can be a very isolating time. I would have had a very different experience as a first-time mom had I not attended these activities.”
