Growing Through It shares stories from young people who all have the common experience of being a part of Roots to Harvest, a human centred, food focused, not for profit in Thunder Bay, ON.

Growing Through It is a project of Roots to Harvest and a part of the Great Big Stories Project through Frayme, a global network of youth mental health resources. Each episode was recorded at Roots to Harvest in Thunder Bay with interviews conducted by Lak Williams and Shaynah Twance, and sound engineering by the folks at Podigy. This project was made possible through generous funding from Frayme, a national knowledge mobilization network in youth mental health and substance use practices, and RBC's Future Launch Program.

Roots to Harvest lives, works, and plays on the traditional territories of the Fort William First Nation people, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. We strive to not only learn from and with, but also reconcile our relationship with the Anishinaabe people in this area, who have cared for and stewarded this land for centuries.
