Food has the ability to both preserve and celebrate culture and community, through a vast array of knowledge and traditions that can connect each generation to the next. When people gather to share stories, prepare treasured family recipes, and enjoy the company of loved ones over a homecooked meal, food transcends beyond nutritional value and medicine, to strengthen family ties, and bolster community connection and identity.

Join your neighbours on Food Day to experience something new on your tastebuds, learn new skills like minimizing food waste, and discover what local businesses and organizations are doing to help make fresh foods more available in your community.
