Sharing a healthy meal with friends or family is something that many of us take for granted, but for some people in our community this isn’t possible. Some people may not have the skills or tools to plan and prepare a healthy meal, some people may not have the finances, and some people could be disconnected and isolated from others for various reasons.
The Langley Healthier Community Partnership brings together our two municipalities, health care providers, and non-profit organizations to help improve the health of people in Langley. One of the initiatives of this group is to investigate a Community Hub.
The following video was shared at Monday night’s Langley City council meeting about what a Community Hub is.
Right now, the Langley Healthier Community Partnership is exploring what it would take to get a Community Hub going, including finding a potential central location that is accessible and includes an outdoor garden, commercial kitchen, and the opportunity for social enterprise.
