Check out this year’s exciting World Food Day on October 16, 2012 to learn more about some of the food problems in our neighbourhoods, and how we can create a just and sustainable food system in Toronto.
The evening begins with a diverse local food reception with world-famous chef & Soupstock organizer/food activist Michael Stadtlander, with samples of his food and food from the community. We’ll hear from Michael, government, and food community leaders on how we can work together for better food and food access. The evening will end with “unconference” style workshops giving you an opportunity to discuss and develop food solutions with our guests.
