$750,000 for better food
The province has given $750,000 to the B.C. Association of Farmers' Markets to expand the farmers' market nutrition and coupon project provincewide - and 50 low-income families in Kamloops will have better access to local, nutritious food.
The 17-week project will provide $15 per week in coupons to low-income families that will be used to buy goods at the Kamloops Farmers' Market, which runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon in the 200-block of St. Paul Street and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400-block of Victoria Street.
