Some scenes from Friday night's Hunter's Banquet. Thank you to everyone who braved the snow and cold to join us for an incredible feast prepared and served by the incomparable team from The Bruce Hotel. We just can't thank Chef Gushue, Jennifer Belanger and their team enough for knocking our first in-person fundraiser in 3 years out of the ballpark!

Want to really scare the bejezzus out of trick-or-treaters in your neighbourhood? How about dropping some of these purple Brussels sprouts straight off the stalk into their treat bags?
Fuel up for a night of trick-or-treating tonight from 5pm - 6pm with a plate of delicious lasagna. The Access Market is open from 4:30 - 6pm!

Hunters Banquet is back this November 18th and tickets are now available at www.huntersbanquet.ca. But Hunters still need to eat their vegetables, right? This year, a significant portion of the food featured on Chef Jonathan Gushue's menu will come directly from Dufferin Park Community Farm!
It's a culinary event you won't want to miss!
