Bring Food Home welcomes you to Peterborough, Ontario!
From the Greater Peterborough Area website…
The Greater Peterborough Area is a unique community known for its exceptional quality of life and beautiful setting in the Kawarthas tourism region. Peterborough has everything – a multitude of recreational opportunities, a diverse industrial, commercial and agricultural base, quality health care and excellent schools – including two post-secondary institutions. Peterborough is just one hour from the Greater Toronto Area. Real estate is affordable, the air is clean and communities are safe.
With a population of approximately 135,000 (increases substantially in the summer season) the Greater Peterborough Area is the regional centre for East Central Ontario and draws from a market population of 350,000. Peterborough’s proximity to major markets in Canada and the northeastern United States, combined with an effective transportation system that includes the largest commercial airport between Toronto and Ottawa, and four-lane access to the Greater Toronto Area, makes Peterborough an unparalleled setting as a business location.
Please note that we have created a Ridesharing & Billeting Bulletin Board to allow conference participants to contact one another and share resources to make the conference more accessible to more people. The conference organizers are not responsible for the accuracy of any information posted on the bulletin board, nor do we guarantee arrangements made between bulletin board participants. It is an optional, completely voluntary tool provided as a service to those interested in taking this opportunity to travel and stay with others who share a keen interest in healthy, sustainable food and farming.

There will be limited bus service to the Trent University Campus for Bring Food Home because our conference will be taking place during Reading Week. There will be shuttle buses to and from our conference hotels in order to connect our conference attendees with the conference site at Trent.
