Food Literacy Workshops

Our train-the trainer style workshops are available for community organizations and/or school staff looking to run their own cooking or food literacy programs.

Food literacy workshops are offered as a two-session series:

Part 1 – This five-hour session includes an overview of food literacy programs, basic requirements for running a program, food safety, and hands-on cooking so that you can experience a class from a client’s perspective. After this session, you will get access to a shared site that contains all our class outlines, recipes, and handouts.

Part 2 – This optional three-hour session is available to anyone who has attended Part 1.  Information covered includes weight bias and stigma, Canada’s Food Guide, label reading, and finding credible nutrition information.
