Seed Matters

This clever image was brought to us by Seed Matters on Facebook - Seed Matters is a Clif Bar Family Foundation initiative advocating for the protection and improvement of organic seed to ensure healthy, nutritious, and productive crops to feed people now and in the future.

The initiative's primary goals are to:
1) Conserve crop genetic diversity.
2) Promote farmers' roles and rights as seed stewards.
3) Reinvigorate public seed research and education.

We can achieve these goals through:
a) educating our food community on the role, benefit, challenges, and potential in seed
b) supporting the work of the initiative's nonprofit partners to protect and improve seed;
b) creating a coalition of organizations and companies that advocate for organic seed systems.

National Days of Action: Thu 24 & Fri 25th November, 2011

Canadians are standing together against a fill-the-prisons approach to justice that has failed everywhere it’s been tried.

Join a coalition of groups for two days of action to speak out against the cruel Crime Bill. Time is running out to make Canada safer, not meaner - we need you to help us all make a big impact.

Where: Our MP’s local constituency offices.

When: Focus on Thursday at 1pm, with actions throughout Thursday and Friday.

We’re going to tell our MPs: Don’t mess up like Texas. Stop the cruel Crime Bill.

Bring friends, and bring a cowboy hat if you can. 

We will deliver tens of thousand of petition signatures and a summary of the Canadian Bar Association’s powerful argument against the bill.

Our goal is to show cross-country solidarity by reaching as many MP’s offices as possible, you and a friend are all we need to send a powerful message.

Why oppose the cruel Crime Bill?

The Omnibus Crime Bill is a massive combination of bills, all of which failed to pass when the Conservatives had a minority of seats in Parliament. When combined, the Crime Bill rejects proven crime prevention and rehabilitation strategies, and instead imposes mandatory sentences that will create hardened criminals, target the most vulnerable in our society, and force prison expansions that will cost our provinces dearly.

Stop Bill C-10: Make Canada Safer, Not Meaner

This week, across Canada, experts are speaking out against the massive, cruel Crime Bill that our Conservative government is rushing through Parliament. Even conservative Texans are warning Canada not to follow America’s failed path of mandatory sentences and massive prison expansion.
Please sign this online petition to STOP this horrendous bill from passing into law.  Go to http://www.leadnow.ca/keep-canada-safe for more information.

Our Philosophy

We at the Victoria Seed Bank and Vancouver Seed Bank are: 

Devoted to collecting and preserving

 useful seed varieties from around the globe 

and making those seeds available to anyone who needs them.

We believe that seeds and plants 

are part of the common heritage of all people,

 that every human has the right to grow any plant they wish.

We oppose the patenting of living things, 

the genetic modification of plants, 

and especially the creation os so-called "terminator" seeds.

We believe that breeding and careful selection 

are the keys to developing new plant strains.

We ardently and actively 

oppose the war on drugs 

which aims to exterminate many of the world's most useful plants. 

We believe medicinal, entheogenic and psychoactive plants 

are among the world's most sacred treasures 

and should be preserved, not destroyed.

When you purchase seeds from the

Vancouver Seed Bank  or  Victoria Seed Bank 

you are contributing to ending the drug war and 

preserving plant life for future generations.

Thank you!
