Marcus Lobb

Regional Lead - BC Chapter
Farm to School BC

prov.manager@farmtoschoolbc.ca

​​

Marcus has 12 years of experience supporting, and designing school garden and healthy eating programs in Quebec and B.C.

 

His passion for food systems can be traced back to his childhood as the grandson of an avid gardener who grew the tastiest cherry tomatoes.

 

Along with an interest in local food, Marcus enjoys growing his own vegetables, being involved with youth basketball, and listening to old records. Marcus also supports the Capital Region as a community animator with Farm to School BC.

 

Marcus lives and works currently on the traditional-unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwugen) Peoples, know today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. 

Steering Committee

 

Steering Committee Members are representatives of member organizations within the Coalition, with the capacity to offer more sustaining support to the BC Chapter. The Steering Committee is the decision-making body of the BC Chapter; however, its decisions must reflect the input of member organizations.
