LOUISE SPOTLIGHT - highlighting a business in our municipality

I had the pleasure of meeting with Dustin and Jo-lene of the Harvest Moon Society. The first of my business visits as Community Development Officer. What a wonderful space.

"The mission of the Harvest Moon Society is to develop a learning centre that works toward strengthening and building linkages between urban and rural areas, empowering communities while creating strategies and infrastructure to sustain community and environment. This will be carried out using a diversity of tactics focused on grassroots and participatory practices.

Harvest Moon Society would like to invision a world in which healthy land and communities are celebrated by all, leading to equitable food systems, a sense of place, and care for the environment now and in generations to come.

Harvest Moon began in 2002 when rural and urban organizers came together around a shared interest in community, land, and sustainable food systems. The first Harvest Moon Festival sparked a movement that led to the creation of the Harvest Moon Society and the purchase of the Clearwater school, now the Harvest Moon Learning Centre. As both the Festival and the Society grew, each developed its own focus and eventually became separate organizations, connected by shared roots and a commitment to community. Today, the Harvest Moon Society is a registered educational charity dedicated to hands‐on learning, land stewardship, and strengthening connections between rural and urban communities." - Dustin
