Community Meal with Inwendaamin Oki
The Seasoned Spoon cafe and Inwendaamin Oki welcome you to a Community Walk and Meal, on Tuesday, February 11th.
We hope that you can join us to celebrate this land, and acknowledge the changes and impacts that are taking place.
4:30pm- we will gather outside of the Spoon cafe to create Prayer flags for this land, a ceremony led by Elder Dorothy Taylor of Curve Lake.
We will continue on a guided walk, led by friends of Inwendaamin Oki, where we can hang our flags.
5:30pm - Arrive at the Seasoned Spoon for a discussion and warm meal, PWYC.
6:30- Prayer flag activity: we will be creating flags together that will be brought up to the Trent Vegetable Gardens, as a gesture of grief and healing as we continue to grow food and connect with the land in a time of upheaval and construction.
If you are interested in joining us for just the walk, please feel free to drop-in, and bring your friends.
If you would like to stay for the meal, or join us just for the meal portion of the evening, please reserve a (free) ticket here.

Sprouting workshop
Sprouts are a burst of energy and flavour, packed into a tender green. Sprouting seeds, such as alfalfa and radish increases the nutrition and flavour of the greens, and is a great way to include fresh and delicious foods into your daily menu.
Join Amanda from Belmont Farmstead as we learn how to sprout seeds successfully using the jar method. The Jar method is a simple set up that consists of: a jar; seeds; a tilting stand; and a screen lid - all of which will ensure successful sprouting and delicious greens available every day, for next to no cost.
You will be completely set up to sprout at home after attending this workshop, we hope you can come!
This workshop is $20 and includes the Sprouting kit.

Nurses Association cooking workshop
Join the Nursing Student Association for an interactive cooking workshop designed to nourish both body and mind! As we transition into fall, there's nothing more comforting than a hearty meal to warm up the season. Together, we'll be making a simple, delicious soup that's easy to prepare, perfect for busy schedules, and ideal for meal prepping. But this workshop is more than just cooking! It's also a chance to talk about the challenges many of us face as students and future healthcare professionals, especially when it comes to burnout. We'll also discuss mindful eating, meal planning on a budget, balancing school and self-care, setting boundaries to avoid burnout, and how sharing meals can build community and improve well-being. This event will create an open, supportive space for all students to connect, share experiences, and build a sense of community while learning how to prioritize self-care through food. Whether you're a cooking novice or a kitchen pro, come for the food, stay for the conversation.
This workshop is $5 and registration is required here.
