Local Flavours Annual Meeting & Workshop

Local Flavours Annual Meeting & Workshop

Local FlavoursThose currently, and those wishing to be Local Flavours members, as food producers, restaurants, citizens and markets of the region, will gather February 12 from 2pm-7pm at the Firehall Theatre in Gananoque to lay out plans for 2011 and beyond. They’ll continue to build capacity, programs and a food identity for the region. Lori Stahlbrand, CBC journalist and founder-president of Local Foods Plus, and Edward Pond, locavore and food photographer, will inspire a roundtable discussion to help guide the direction of Local Flavours for 2011, and beyond.

With a pot luck supper, top notch speakers, a great band, and hearty discussion; it will be an awesome evening! Admission is $5 for adults, free for children; the $5 will go towards Local Flavours membership fees if you choose to register. The meeting event is a great opportunity to renew membership in Local Flavours, or join for the first time – and perhaps to become a Friend of Local Flavours:
