Community

We stay active in the community by volunteering for many special events, and being active on several boards, during the year. We have performed cooking demonstrations, lessons and educational seminars; we have handed out information at food fairs and volunteered at the Vancouver Food Bank.

In 2009-2010, we volunteered on the board of Sprouting Chefs, a children’s cooking-gardening program. We are currently active on the board of the Vancouver YMCA and have participated in various volunteer-based events for the Vancouver School Board, the Vancouver Parks Board and the Vancouver Farmer’s Market Society.

Through our work at Kitsilano Community Centre we continue to offer community-based workshops and programs such as Community Kitchens, where we teach home cooks how to best stretch their dollars in the kitchen, and we offer hot meals for the homeless every month at the community centre.

Would you like to get involved? We have many staff, students and apprentices who like to volunteer their timeto contribute to these special events, because there is food to prep, there are mouths to feed, and there are always healthy cooking and eating habits to promote. Please get in touch if you would like to join us.
