PLOT & Newton Medicine Wheel
aka where you can find me on my days off with my puppyI am a member of a stewardship group that manages the day-to-day operations of the PLOT & Newton Medicine Wheel. I coordinate communications with the City of Surrey, support fundraising and organize programming in the space.
In 2020, I co-created the PLOT Care Baskets (an initiative aiming to provide weekly boxes filled with fresh produce) to support those who are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 such as low-income older adults and persons with disabilities. This initiative was an immediate response to COVID, but it was also an opportunity to build resilience over time by strengthening the relationships between local growers and local consumers, which reduces vulnerabilities to shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic.
