What is Kamloops Food Policy?

The Kamloops Food Policy Council, based in Kamloops, BC Canada, is on the traditional, unceded territory of the Secwepemc people who have, and continue to, nourish themselves and this land for millenia. This ancient gathering place, where the North and South Thompson Rivers meet is called T’kemlups in the Secwepemc language, Secwepemctsin. This land is called Secwepemculecw. The Kamloops Food Policy Council is the longest-standing independent food policy council in Canada: pollinating community food projects, developing partnerships, and contributing to public policy since 1995!
