Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are blessed with an incredibly diverse food culture. We are fortunate to enjoy tasty ingredients grown by local farmers and cooked by excellent chefs, locally-made artisan products such as cheese and sausages, seafood from our surrounding waters and wild foods such as mushrooms and berries.
Through our convivium, we are dedicated to introducing our members and the community at large to our producers, fishers, farmers and foragers. In spreading that knowledge it is also our mission to ensure existing traditions are maintained while new traditions and relationships are formed.
I hope you will join us in those efforts at any of our events or take a further step in getting involved with the planning. Please feel free to contact our committee with any questions or suggestions.
Regards,
Don Genova
Convivium Leader
