CELEBRATING IN CALGARY

FALL WAS FULL OF fun-filled events, starting with the first meeting of the fiscal year, held at SAIT on September 7. The event was wellattended, as we welcomed over 30 members and over 40 Culinary students.

Rupert Kaup, Culinary Academic Chair of SAIT, welcomed the CACC and spoke about the post-COVID recovery, remarking about how enrolment was at 100% with onboarding new culinary students. Also of note was that longtime CACC Associate member, Al Kennedy, was honoured with his Life Member Award.

On October 5, our meeting was held at Limericks Public House, hosted by Chef Trevor Hopper. With 18 members present, it was an amazing event, highlighted by a presentation by a local food truck operation, SISIG EH!

We also celebrated International Chefs Day on October 20. CACC was supported by local, long-time member, Dean Mitchell CCC, who has supported ICD for many years with different local charities. This year, Dean organized volunteers, donations, and supplies, creating soup and buns for over 180 people in need, and coordinating the delivery to three separate locations on October 20.
