Celebrate Canada’s Diversity
Canada is a country that is full of diversity, where people from countries around the world live and work peacefully in an inclusive environment. Because Canada is so diverse historically and ethnically, Canadians often describe their country as a mosaic.
For centuries, food has brought people together. It is through food, that people are able to connect to their cultural or ethnic group. Food is often a means of retaining their cultural identity. The areas in which families live and where their ancestors originated influence a person’s likes and dislikes.
As Canadians we not only accept, but have come to enjoy cuisines from many different ethnicities. Take your residents on a Canadian Cultural Food Mosaic journey and allow them to celebrate their own traditional foods or those of your staff or community.
At Maple Leaf Foods, a proudly Canadian company, we celebrate traditional foods from around the world. We’ve developed some easy-to-prepare, ethnically-inspired recipes that will help you create your own Canadian Cultural Food Mosaic Theme Event.
