David Parkinson has lived in Powell River since October 2006. Before that, he lived somewhere else. He is interested in being part of the movement to develop a more resilient region, focusing on increasing food security by creating a network of people and small cooperative enterprises growing and processing local food. Since January 2007 he has been the coordinator of the local Food Security Project, which is an initiative funded by the BC government through Vancouver Coastal Health and administered locally by the Powell River Employment Program Society. David is a founding director of the Malaspina Land Conservancy Society and is currently the Secretary of that organization.
