Elk Valley

Food security, access to locally produced food and food-growing space are priorities for our Elk Valley Branch.

Social distancing is easy to maintain in our spacious Community EcoGarden. Visitors welcome! We also welcome volunteer help at the garden as well as with our newest project, the Local store.
