2018 GOOD FOOD SUMMIT
Sharing Good Food Stories
THE 2018 GOOD FOOD SUMMIT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 22/23
“ON A COLD, rainy, and otherwise gloomy evening in November, the Victoria Theatre bustled with warm chatter as people took their seats for the inaugural edition of Savoury Stories. Hosted by the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable, as part of its annual two-day Good Food Summit, the evening’s goal was to raise money for CRFAIR’s Good Food Network. But the stories shared over the next two hours also connected community members who care about local food through the inspiring power of personal tales and poignant words.”
