In the downtown core, a new series of cooking classes is connecting neighbours, rethinking where food comes from and feeding some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. A tall order for one group, but multiple not-for-profit organizations are banding together to put on Cooking 4 Community, a monthly series held in Boyle-McCauley. This is Edmonton’s Clare Bonnyman went to visit one of the classes, and hear about how collaboration is fueling action for young Edmontonians.
The project is a collaboration between Touch Grass Club, New Grocery Movement and the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians. On the latest episode of This is Edmonton, host Clare Bonnyman went to visit one of the classes and find out how the collaboration is creating change in the community.
