The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
delta
south.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Today.
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
incredible
work
of
a
local
seed
company.
In
my
riding
of
delta,
south
family
owned
and
operated
west
coast
seeds
was
founded
in
1983
in
vancouver.
Their
mission
is
to
source
and
supply
seeds
of
a
higher
quality
than
previously
available
to
home
gardeners
by
following
the
traditions
of
organic
farming
and
gardening.
Untreated
and
certified
organic
seeds
are
their
focus.
A
Aaron
sacks
ceo
of
west
coast
seeds,
teamed
up
with
food
banks
of
canada
to
organize
a
fundraiser
in
her
honor.
The
dr
bonnie
henry
pollinator
bland
is
on
sale
at
west
coast.
Seeds
and
100
of
the
proceeds
are
donated
to
food
banks.
Canada
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
has
already
been
raised
and
the
blend
remains
a
top
seller.
I
am
also
happy
to
report
that,
in
coordination
with
the
clerk's
office,
I
have
organized
several
packets
of
these
seeds
to
be
planted
on
the
legislative
precinct.
A
Covet

has
impacted
british
columbia's
disproportionately
food
banks
are
a
source
for
many
people
to
receive
fresh
food,
and
we
must
continue
to
support
families
during
this
time
of
need.
This
is
just
one
small
act
to
show
our
collective
appreciation
for
the
work
of
our
provincial
health
officer,
her
staff,
all
frontline
workers
across
the
province,
as
well
as
give
back
to
those
who
are
struggling
through
most
of
the
pandemic
with
spring
upon
us.
Let's
all
take
some
time
to
get
outdoors
and
enjoy
our
beautiful
gardens
in
doing
so.
