🌱 Beautiful summer evening at Vacant Lots Farm Club in Calgary's NW - a perfect reminder of why community partnerships matter.

Last week, my colleague Lynn Molvik and I had the privilege of visiting Farm #1, a recent recipient of an RBC Community Grant. Vacant Lots Farm Club transforms vacant urban land into therapeutic growing spaces that foster personal and community wellbeing.

What struck me most was seeing firsthand how one organization can create meaningful impact. From indigenous planting practices to building vibrant "third places," they're doing incredible work around environmental stewardship and community engagement.

I'm proud to be part of RBC - an organization committed to supporting these kinds of initiatives. Earlier this year, we partnered with Vacant Lots Farm Club to host our "Seeds of Change" workshop, and the momentum continues to grow.

If you're inspired by this work, there are meaningful ways to get involved: become a member, plan a visit, or join one of their workshops. With special thanks to Jack Goodwin of VLFC for showing us what is taking root! 🌿
