Discover the joy of Canadian cuisine and learn how you can participate in Food Day Canada on August 3, 2024

Food Day Canada is just around the corner! Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 3, 2024. Why does this matter to me? For over a decade I worked full-time in the agriculture and food industry in various communication and marketing roles with different groups and organizations. Since starting my own writing business, I have had the privilege or working with clients from diverse industries. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have had thus far on my entrepreneurial journey. I have been able to continue telling the stories and spreading the word about all the amazing things everyone in this industry does to bring delicious, nutritious food from the farms to our tables.

Fun story
As a child, I was not interested in food, cooking or where my food came from. For quite some time I was an extremely picky eater. My curiosity and interest in food and cooking really didnāt begin until I was a young adult and moved away from my parents and out on my own. Working in agriculture sparked my interest in understanding more about my food ā where it comes from, how the animals are raised, how the food gets from the farm to the grocery store and ultimately onto my table. I surrounded myself with those that were interested in food, whether it be farmers, food bloggers, home economists and chefs. I gained a wealth of knowledge from these groups of people.
What is Food Day Canada? Food Day Canada is dedicated to celebrating Canadian food and thanking all of the hard-working people that provide us with delicious Canadian food each and every day.
