Ian Marcuse has lived at Paloma Co-op in Vancouver for over 15 years. His work as the Community Food Developer for the Grandview Woodland Food Connection (GWFC) aligns with his passion for grassroots community development and empowerment.

“I’ve always believed in building local community. The beauty of food is that it’s a great way of building relationships. The work GWFC does aligns with co-op values, and it intersects with other critical issues such as poverty, marginalization, and colonization. A housing co-op uses an economic model based on reciprocity and dignity. Food dignity is an important consideration, too."
