Description: The people of the Comox Valley have always had a special knack for community organizing, but the COVID-19 crisis has taken us to the next level. There is a remarkable story unfolding here about our collective capacity to respond, adapt, and develop resiliency. The number of people who are hungry in our community is increasing every day. In response, Valley non-profit organizations—with support from compassionate local businesses—have been helping to ensure emergency food accessibility for our vulnerable residents by coordinating donations and proactive distribution.

Description: As we continue on this pandemic journey towards our ‘restart’ BC, this is not a ‘new normal’, this is an 'un-normal'. The amount of uncertainty that still persists for those in the food and agriculture sector will continue to require flexibility, and innovation, to deal with continued change. One of the hardest hit industries over this time has been the restaurant industry, and through restaurants are currently in the process of reopening the lost revenues over the last couple of months, combined with the investment needed to reopen and the limited physical capacity of operation needed to be in compliance with BC’s safety rules means some will really struggle and some will not reopen at all. In today’s interview we will hear more about the journey of restaurants more broadly over the last couple of months, and more specifically that of Atlas Cafe.
