Food Day Canada celebrations will shine a light on Canadian cuisine from coast to coast says Crystal Mackay, coordinator.

What’s happening? Canadians will come together in person and online to enjoy and celebrate food and share their stories on Food Day Canada/ Journée des terroirs.

When? All day Saturday July 30, 2021 (and the week leading up to it) 

Where? Anywhere and everywhere across Canada.  Backyard barbecues, picnics, farmers’ markets, dine in or dine out.  Enjoy Canadian-grown, Canadian-made food and drinks.

Who? Anyone and everyone who loves Canadian ingredients, with gratitude for the people who make it happen.  Chefs, home cooks, farmers, ranchers, fishers, writers, winemakers, brewers, food processors, researchers…and the list goes on. 

How to get involved?
