The PFF Community Leadership Fellowships offer extraordinary opportunities to McGill students with innovative ideas, helping them to bring sustainable and positive social change to the communities in which they work.
After a very competitive selection process, Lauren received the good news that she was selected to have her project funded. Beginning this week, Lauren is working with Action Communiterre and the English-Montreal School Board for 8-months to build a brand new school and community vegetable garden at St. Monica Elementary School in the Notre-Dame de Grace (NDG) bourough of Montreal. She will actively engage the young daycare children and local youth in planting and maintaining the garden to grow all kinds of nutritious food for the community. She will be complementing the work in the garden with workshops for the kids on health, nutrition and the environment, as well as hosting community events centred around extremely local food!
