Event Details

REAP Business Association is proud to host, with the support of Community Natural Foods, First Calgary Financial, and Calgary Herald, a wonderful event in celebration of local sustainable food and farmers!

 

The second annual FOOD FOR THOUGHT will take place from 6-10 pm on Saturday, October 15 at McMahon Stadium (east entrance) in one of the kwansit huts next to Viper Stadium. We will be showcasing local sustainable farmers and producers, paired with restaurants and catering companies who already adore and promote their products, and offering tastings to our attendees while giving everyone a chance to talk to our farmers and chefs directly.

 

After the greeting and eating we will be premiering a documentary called In the Same Boat, which features the stories of an Alberta farming family and a Newfoundland fishing family, both of whom have been impacted by industrialized agriculture. The filmaker, Rachel Bower, will lead a discussion about the importance of local, sustainable food systems after the film.

 

Doors open at 6:00 pm
Curtain at 8:30 pm
