Saturday is Food Day Canada
Canada is on the menu, says Canadian and local food advocate and activist Anita Stewart.
What’s Happening?
“Canadians are coming together to declare Food Day Canada/ Journée des terroirs. We are shopping, cooking, eating and honouring those who produce and prepare our foods across the nation. The spirit of pride will shine as iconic structures are being lit red and white in honour of our Canadian cuisine from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland.”
Who?
“Anyone and everyone who loves Canadian food and beverages. Chefs, home cooks, farmers, ranchers, fishers, writers, winemakers, brewers, food processors, researchers…and the list goes on.”
When?
All day, Saturday August 1, 2020
Why?
“Because it’s time to say “thank you” to those who feed us so well!”
Where?
“Anywhere and everywhere. Backyard barbecues, picnics, potlucks, patios and kitchen tables. In person and online. Enjoy Canadian-grown, Canadian-made food and drinks, made by you or your favourite chefs.”
How can you participate?
“Shop like a Canadian using our all-Canadian shopping list. It’s eclectic and seasonal and fun. Cook like a Canadian with some of your favourite recipes or some of ours.
“Share like a Canadian. Invite some of your favourite people to join you to enjoy a meal, in person or virtually. Post your menus, photos and stories with pride and passion!”
