North Island College in Courtenay will be joining B.C’s Food Hub Network.
A feasibility study and business plan are being developed at NIC to determine the potential and capacity to offer a food processing centre.
The goal of the hubs is to connect agriculture food producers and processors with shared technology, research and development, specialized equipment, expertise and services in a dynamic environment that benefits the local community.
Expanding the network could help provide local food producers and processors access to the expertise and equipment needed to grow their business at a regional food hub.
Other communities throughout B.C that are also taking part in the studies include:
-Kamloops Food Policy Council, Kamloops
-Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable, Victoria
-Upper Skeena Development Centre Society, Hazelton
-Vancouver Island University, Deep Bay/Nanaimo
Good to Grow Natural Products Coaching (partnering with the British Columbia Institute of Technology), North Vancouver
The studies are the next step in advancing the B.C. Food Hub Network.
They will enhance sustainable growth and innovation in the processing, packaging and marketing of B.C. food and beverage products, and showcase them to British Columbians and international markets.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
