Food Day Canada is a celebration of food grown and produced in Canada. It is an opportunity to give thanks to everyone across the food continuum from farmers and fishers to food researchers, chefs, and home cooks. It was founded by Anita Stewart who was a passionate advocate for Canadian cuisine, and the University of Guelph’s Food Laureate. Every year, people who love Canadian ingredients participate in Food Day Canada by attending community food events, having meals with friends and family, and sharing their enjoyment of Canadian food online. In May 2023, The Food Day in Canada Act passed in Parliament, making the occasion an officially recognized day on the national calendar.
