Excellence in Canadian culture

Our Mission: To build a more inclusive Canada

How We Do It:

1. We stage culinary competitions in 10 Canadian cities to elevate and celebrate emerging and established Canadian talent
2. This year, in our 20th year, the regional and national competitions will be different. All the competitors will be All-Stars - those who have podiumed regionally or nationally at our competitions in the past. The food will be epic! Each city will have a designated Chef of Distinction, a chef who will present a dish at the regional VIP reception and will be allocated one spot on the two-person city team heading to Ottawa to compete at the Canadian Culinary Championship. The other team member for each city team will be the winner of this year's regional competition.
3. We stage Canada’s largest exposition of Canadian wine to elevate and celebrate emerging talent
4. We create unforgettable moments for guests at the events and on our once-in-a-lifetime international trips
5. We contribute to national and regional charities which are ensuring Canadian youth have equitable access to healthy food, music education and sport opportunities

*To date, we have contributed 19.9 million dollars
