We hope this message finds our members reflecting back on a wonderful and restful summer spent with loved ones, making memories. We wish you the best as we all begin to settle back into the routine that September brings. The Culinary Federation kicked off September with the exciting announcement of the National Chicken Challenge! September is NATIONAL CHICKEN MONTH, and this year Chicken Farmers of Canada and the Culinary Federation are challenging our chef members of all cultural backgrounds to take "The Chicken Challenge"! This is a social media contest where chefs create and share a chicken dish reminiscent of their own cultural background, talk about who they are, where they're from, how their chicken dish holds a special place in their heart, and how chicken is an important part of their cultural heritage. There are great prizes to be won! To learn more, check out our website here Our new National Treasurer and CF London Branch President David Franklin has been busy behind the scenes on a new Culinary Federation apparel program! You should have already received an email with all the details on how to order, deadlines and bulk branch shipping information. We look forward to seeing our members represent the Culinary Federation in these newly branded items. To access the shop click here Sysco's Virtual Kitchen is back with a new season! We are excited to kick off our Culinary Federation In the Field series, with our first episode back on September 23rd at 11am EST. We will be featuring Clever Crow Farm, members of our North Vancouver Island branch. Be sure to tune in to the livestream on our Facebook Page!
