| Jolene Swain, Christine Bruce (reading from the Groundbreakers Facebook page) | Because our focus in this episode was inclusion, Brenda and I agreed that we should air a couple of the meaningful tributes we heard this summer after one of our farmers, Lesley Jackson, died.

Program:
Featuring Angie Gagnon, the Food Security Coordinator for Witset, this episode explores the fundamental question of "Who do we shelter?" It addresses the concerning trend of non-inclusion often found within food security systems to advocate for a more welcoming approach. Additionally, the episode honours the legacy of Lesley Jackson, a Smithers farmer recognized for her quiet but significant impact on attracting youth and fresh perspectives to the region.
