Bringing Fresh Food to the Bow Valley.

Making it easier—and more affordable—for everyone in our community to enjoy fresh, healthy produce.

What We Do

Bow Valley Food Alliance Food Charter

Created through community conversations and collaboration with the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations, the Bow Valley Food Charter reflects our shared values around growing, harvesting, and accessing food. It helps guide a more equitable, sustainable, and community-connected food system across the Bow Valley.

Learn more and sign the Food Charter here.

Explore a collection of research, reports, and helpful resources that deepen our understanding of food security, local food systems, and community needs across the Bow Valley and beyond.

View the collection we’ve put together here.

Research & Reports
