The official name of the program is Feeding Ourselves and Others, but friends and family call it Serenity Farm.
Vancouver Island – The school year is coming to a close and students may be feeling more stressed than usual. Island Health encourages youth and young adults to download the BoosterBuddy app for virtual support through exam periods and all year long.
