The 2013 Garden of Hope harvest has been completed by the inmates from the Saskatoon Correctional Centre's Urban Camp, and approximately 20,000 pounds of produce was donated to the Saskatoon Food Bank and St. Mary's Community School.
“This year marks the fourth year of the partnership between the Saskatoon Correctional Centre’s Urban Camp, the Food Bank and St. Mary's Community School,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said. “The Garden of Hope is a powerful symbol of the Urban Camp inmates’ determination to better themselves and contribute to the local community.”
Urban Camp inmates and staff grow a wide variety of vegetables over the summer. Gardeners are supplied with seeds, gardening tools and construction material through donations from Early's Farm and Garden Centre, Floral Acres Greenhouses and Garden Centre, and Hamm Construction Ltd. in Saskatoon.
To date, the Garden of Hope has yielded approximately 61,000 pounds of vegetables to the Saskatoon Food Bank and St. Mary’s School.
The Urban Camp program has been in existence for 32 years, and provides inmates who are nearing release with work experience geared to supporting the community.
