Who We Are

The EGP is a project of the North Shore Neighbourhood House, and works with a wide range of groups on the North Shore from local government and health authorities to non-profit community groups as well as local social service providers, community members and local businesses.

• Steering Committee Members: The EGP steering committee is comprised of a diverse group of individuals from the North Shore Recycling Project, Vancouver Coastal Health, the District of North Vancouver, the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre, the City of North Vancouver, and the North Shore Neighbourhood House.

• Project Coordinator, Heather Johnstone: The EGP coordinator works with the Steering Committee to organize events, coordinate program areas, connect with the community, promote the EGP on the North Shore, consult and support food related programs, communicate with those involved with the project, and maintain our EGP garden sites on the North Shore with the help of volunteers.
• EGP Events and Volunteer Coordinator, Emily Jubenvill: The volunteer coordinator works to organize and promote events and volunteer opportunities, coordinate our produce collection system and to promote the EGP in the community.
• The EGP community network: Our network is made-up of community members who volunteer their time and energy to garden, those who lend their garden space for the EGP to cultivate, and those who donate a portion of their harvest and/or equipment. Our network also includes non-profit organizations that provide food to those in need as well as local businesses.
