Naramata Slow Community Conversations Event on Cittaslow
Last month I was lucky enough to co-host an event, Community Conversations, with Jennifer Cockrall, a Slow Food expert and writer, for Naramata Slow, a non-profit community group that I have been volunteering with for the last few months. Naramata Slow helped Naramata become designated as a Cittaslow community, which is a designation for towns that started in Italy and focuses on community, culture, local food systems/businesses, and caring for the environment. Community Conversations was a part of the 2026 International Cittaslow Planning Committee Meeting, so we were fortunate enough to have delegates from Italy and Turkey attend our event. As well as other Canadian Cittaslow communities (Cowichan Bay and Lac-Mégantic) and people from communities and groups in the Similkameen and Southern Okanagan Valley who are interested in Cittaslow, building community, and creating connections.
