Growing North Cariboo and P4HC:NC Projects


The Growing North Cariboo Society has worked with the Northern Health Authority and Cariboo Regional District to establish the Partnering for Healthier Communities Committee of the North Cariboo (P4HC-NC).

The Partnering for Healthier Communities: North Cariboo (P4HC:NC) is a stakeholder group composed of people representing a wide range of groups, organizations and agencies from across the North Cariboo (Nazko to Wells / Strathnaver to McLeese Lake). It’s establishment in 2014 was led by Growing North Cariboo Society and is co-chaired by a representative of the Cariboo Regional District and Northern Health.

The intent of this committee is to identify issues that are related to community health with a focus on food security, access to local, fresh healthy food and how these fit into healthy communities and sustainable community development.

In the spring of 2016 the North Cariboo P4HC Committee initiated the “Empowering Family Health” project.



The Empowering Family Health project has multiple linked components focused on food production and preservation.
These components include:

Community Input

Schools and community groups have an opportunity to submit a Request for Proposals. Examples of past projects include events such as Seedy Saturday, as well as, school and community gardens.

Resource Inventory

A North Cariboo database of people with knowledge and presentation abilities, non-profit organizations, events and facilities related to food production, preservation and agricultural practices.

Workshops and Seminars

Held in rural communities able to provide a representative to assist with coordination.

Food Preservation Equipment and Library

Five rural communities have been gifted with food processing and preservation equipment and books, which is available for residents to access and use on a lending basis.
