The York Region Food Network (YRFN) is launching a new hub to show residents how they can reduce their impact on the environment.

The Compost Learning Hub will be a place where York residents can learn about growing food, saving seeds, composting and conserving water. The YRFN will host an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. on Aug. 18 at 145 Lebovic Campus Dr. in Vaughan.

“YFRN is committed to helping to ensure all York Region residents have access to food skills and education,” said Marissa Wilshire, director of operations at York Region Food Network, via press release. “We also believe that when people have opportunities to build respectful relationships with the land, we are better equipped to tackle climate change from both a personal and systematic level."

No registration is needed for the open house and free parking is available on the street.

Educational workshops and tours will be held in the fall and winter. For more information, contact Danielle Han, garden co-ordinator at York Region Food Network, at: 905-841-3101 or email Gardens@yrfn.ca.
