Remembrance Day Preparation

Another November is upon us, and our preparations for the ceremonies for Remembrance Day are nigh. We do not, ever, 'celebrate' Remembrance Day ... it is a day of solemn observance, of reflection, for most of us some personal and family memories; a sharing of our story, no matter how fractured it sometimes seems.

Most Novembers our Culinary Arts students prepare a very simple meal. This year is no different. We are making a simple stew of 'availables' during WW I, either 'at home' or in the trenches. There is absolutely nothing fancy about this at all ... a chicken or vegetarian stew with fresh biscuits, a glass of water and a home-grown (Ontario) apple. That's all.

We charge $8.50 for this ... $5.00 of which is a donation to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund, assisting Veterans with mobility and community access devices.

We are already sold out.

The tables, prepared by Matthew, are ready.
