Annual Report 2021
Reflections on 2021
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
One of the first things people learn, when they join our Board at Food First NL, is that our work connects to just about everything. As we step back and look at the organization’s work in 2021, that becomes abundantly clear.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Early in 2021, after a day-long parade of Zoom calls, I caught myself daydreaming about being stuck in a windowless conference room, with bad coffee, and stale sandwiches, solving the world’s problems. Guess what: it happened! This year was marked by many similar moments of normalcy for me and for our team, and yet it was anything but a normal year.
In This Report
In 2021, Food First NL worked on many different files in several different major areas. You can find this year’s overarching themes and related projects in the menu to the right.
