Guest-curated by Raven Davis. Presented by the Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM).

"This project uses various media and mapping strategies to explore the complex colonial histories of the north shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, which include the cities of Mississauga and Toronto and the traditional territories of the Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) and the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations of the Grand River).

A member of Serpent River First Nation, Genaabaajing, an Anishinaabe Ojibwa territory on the north shore of Lake Huron, Bonnie Devine's work emerges from the storytelling and image-making traditions she witnessed as a child. Her art explores issues of land and environment, treaty and history. She is an artist, curator, writer, and educator.

Though formally educated at the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD U) and York University, Bonnie's most enduring learning came from her grandparents, who were trappers on the Canadian Shield. Bonnie's installation, video, and curatorial projects have been shown in solo and group exhibitions and film festivals across Canada and in the USA, South America, Russia, Europe, and China, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Berlin Film Festival, the National Museum of the American Indian, and Today Art Museum in Beijing." ~ Info from Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM).

"The Seva Food Bank provides safe, nutritious and culturally-appropriate food to low-income families living in seven postal codes across Mississauga: L5B, L5C, L4V, L5S, L4T, L5T and L5P. We also coordinate a wide range of programs that help our clients address the causes and consequences of hunger and poverty.

Since opening our doors in 2010, Seva Food Bank has created a community of clients, volunteers, donors and staff. Each month, we are honoured to receive almost 900 families to whom we provide over 50,000 pounds of food and a variety of support services. We operate from two locations in Mississauga (Wolfedale Rd and Slough St). These locations are hubs of energy and collaboration for the community.

An initiative of Sikhs Serving Canada, a registered not-for-profit charitable organization, our mission is to positively impact local communities by acting on the basic Sikh tenets of sarbat da bhalla (the wellbeing of all), chardi kala (eternal optimism) and seva (selfless service)." ~ Info from Seva Food Bank.

"Seva and Simran are two aspects of Sikhi which are fundamental to a devotee of this faith; Seva, meaning work or service performed without any thought of reward or personal benefit and Simran meaning the remembrance of God by repetition or recital of His Name or Nĝm. These in union are essential for the elevation of an adherent of Sikhism." ~ Info from SikhiWiki, Basic Tenets of Sikhism, Encyclopedia of the Sikhs.

Learn about our local food banks and volunteer opportunities.
Learn about the operations of Eden Food for Change.

"OUR MISSION: Eden Food for Change is committed to increasing access to good food in a dignified manner, developing food skills to encourage healthy eating and empowering the community through education, outreach and advocacy.

Eden Food for Change primarily serves western Mississauga. We serve people who live in the postal code areas starting with L5L, L5M and L5N.

In 2016, we served 2,802 people each of whom received an average of 34 lbs of food per visit, 51% of which was fresh food.

OUR STORY: In 1989, a few members of Eden United Church noticed there were hungry families in their church and in the community. It was in the fall of this same year that an informal food bank began. A place where people would donate food and hungry families could access food. In the spring of 1990, this became an official program at the church.

As time went on, this volunteer-run program continued to grow and in 2002, Eden Food Bank was incorporated and became an officially registered charity. While it continued to run out of Eden United Church, Eden Food Bank was now its own organization." ~ Info from Eden Food for Change.
