Our Story

The establishment of Lunch in the Woods was inspired by the late Chief Rita Smith, a loved and respected Mi’kmaq woman from Nova Scotia, Canada. (1917 – 1996). 


Chief Smith was an activist, an artist, and an entrepreneur. Through-out her life she raised a family of 9 children, established Horton First Nation, and built a well-respected basket-making career along with her husband, Abraham Noel Smith. Chief Smith also faced great adversity in her life, which inspired her to speak-up for what she believed in. She was a strong advocate for social justice issues, especially in regards to Indigenous and Women's rights. 


Despite the challenges and hardships Chief Smith and her family faced, she still found joy and gratitude in the simple moments of life. She found time to share these moments with her loved ones, and to foster a connection to the world around her. One of her favorite activities was enjoying a good Lunch in the Woods. 

Driven to continue the legacy of Chief Rita Smith, Lunch in the Woods Consulting has a mission to foster a sense of global community, motivating individuals to become active global citizens who contribute to addressing global challenges. Our goal is to encourage people to pause, appreciate life's small joys, and reestablish meaningful connections with one another.
