Nick Saul explains to us how the biggest issues of our time: inequity, health, climate change, all sit there through the lens of food. Julie teaches us what it is like to become food insecure, and to have to face the broken systems of emergency food, and how The Alex, in Calgary, has created a community where good food is just the beginning. The Alex is a non-profit health and social services organization that has provided integrated and accessible supports and thoughtful, comprehensive care to Calgarians for almost 50 years. With a full complement of health, housing, and community programs, the Alex is a hub of supports and outreach services for people who are experiencing poverty, trauma, social isolation, or health challenges including addiction.
