COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY RESEARCH REPORT a Participatory Action Research Project in Partnership with Activating Change Together for Community Food Security IN SPRYFIELD (HALIFAX) SPRYFIELD IN COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY Spryfield, Nova Scotia COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY RESEARCH REPORT A participatory action research project in partnership with Activating Change Together for Community food Security. February 2015 Produced by: Chebucto Connections Strengthening Community in Spryfield and District St. Paul’s Family Resources Insitute “Committed to Community” This research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. Acknowledgements The Community-University Research Alliance: Activating Change Together IN SPRYFIELD (HALIFAX) SPRYFIELD IN for Community Food Security (ACT for CFS) was made possible through the COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY commitment and efforts of hundreds of individuals. It involved a team of nearly 70 organizational partners from across the province including communities, universities and government, along with students and staff, all committed to participatory action research, participatory leadership and a common vision for community food security. This report, about the Participatory Community Food Security Assessment conducted in Spryfield, is one piece of the ACT for CFS project that would not have happened without this larger involvement of so many individuals and organizations. As well, the training, funding, and human resources we received made it possible for Spryfield to be part of this larger project. It was a pleasure to work with the other three communities who participated in the assessments: Shelburne County Seeds and the Tri-County Local Food Network (Eastern Shelburne County); Kids Action Program (Northeastern Kings County); and Pictou County Food Security Coalition (Pictou County). In Spryfield, the lead organizations were Chebucto Connections and St. Paul’s Family Resources Institute. We would also like to acknowledge the members of the Advisory Committee in Spryfield, as well as the many students and staff who contributed their passion and hard work to our community. We are enormously grateful to Satya Ramen as the Coordinator of ACT for CFS. She always found the time to answer all our questions, and provided the information we asked for with grace and patience. Many thanks also to Co-Directors, Patty Williams and Christine Johnson.

  • Dartmouth, Highlights Key Themes in Your Area and Across the Province, and Outlines What DNS Is Doing to Help
    Doctors Nova Scotia’s Community Listening Tour Physicians in Nova Scotia are under pressure. Faced with large patient rosters and limited resources, they are worried about their patients, their practices and their personal lives. That’s why this spring, members of Doctors Nova Scotia’s (DNS) senior leadership team embarked on a province-wide listening tour. They attended 29 meetings with a total of 235 physicians in 24 communities – learning about the challenges of practising medicine in Nova Scotia from people who are experiencing them first-hand. Doctors Nova Scotia held 11 meetings in your zone. This report summarizes the discussion DNS staff members had with physicians in Dartmouth, highlights key themes in your area and across the province, and outlines what DNS is doing to help. Community Report: Dartmouth Meetings in Zone 4 – Central Location Date # of physicians Cobequid Community Health Centre May 18 16 Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital June 7 3 Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital June 7 2 Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital June 7 3 QEII – Veteran’s Memorial Building June 13 4 Dartmouth – NSCC Waterfront Campus June 14 8 Spryfield Medical Centre June 14 7 St. Margaret’s Community Centre June 21 13 Dalhousie – Collaborative Health Education Building June 21 4 IWK June 22 2 Gladstone Family Practice Associates Sept 10 15 Individual correspondence Aug-Sep 5 TOTALS 11 meetings 82 physicians Issues in Dartmouth The association held one session in Dartmouth at the NSCC Waterfront Campus, but attendance was low. This is in part attributable to physicians leading very busy lives, but it may also be a reflection of the lack of connection and community among physicians in Halifax or a lack of confidence in DNS’s ability to influence change.
