Move

Food. This simple word brings up different images, issues and emotions for many people. Toronto offers a wealth of programs, services and research on food, and with Ontario's delicious local produce right in our backyard, we decided to create a friendly community event where people can:
 
  * Sample delicious food grown right in Ontario and prepared by community
  kitchens, chefs and community-friendly businesses, like Vert Catering, George
  Brown Chef School, Cowbell and Fiesta Farms.

  * Enjoy 10 free food booths from our community partners.
 
  * Learn about food sustainability and community-friendly businesses from
  Toronto's food community leaders.
 
  * Connect with free programs from urban farming and cooking classes, to
  children's activities and farmer's markets in our street fair.

  * Join a local community garden, help pick fruit trees, or share gardening and
  cooking skills with your neighbours.

We'll be announcing two lucky winners with $2,500 each toward a community garden project. And share your ideas on food in our Food for Thought video and photo booth.

>> Be sure to arrive early as eating is limited and first come, first served <<
