Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program Launch

community · Denman Island Farmers Market

Denman Island Farmers Market and DICES began participation in the Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program supported by the Province of British Columbia and the Provincial Health Services Authority. The program provides eligible participants with $21 weekly coupons for 15 weeks to purchase local food, targeting seniors, pregnant women, and families with young children.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
