Food security activities have included blessing ceremonies

Harvest Fair
This is a annual event connected to
the Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival. The festival celebrates

this community has to offer. During the festival neighbours
are invited to bring there harvest and display their best
and most interesting produce. This includes sunflowers, broad
beans, squash and many tomato varieties.
