As general manager of Hospitality Services, Joli Manson has tried to include more locally and provincially grown ingredients in food options on campus. Her efforts have been so successful that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s now spends 63 per cent of its food dollars on produce from Ontario.

To spread the word about the benefits of locally sourced foods, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is hosting a conference to bring together producers and institutional buyers.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Food is a basic item of health and we want to explore how to produce the most magnificent meals we can with the food that카지노 게임 컬렉션s available near to us,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Manson says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Eating food is about more than just fuelling up 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and I think that food cooked from scratch and made with local ingredients is better in terms of flavour, quality and cost.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Hospitality Services will co-host the conference on Friday, Oct. 31 along with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Business카지노 게임 컬렉션 Centre for Social Impact and My Sustainable Canada. It will bring together representatives from educational and health-care institutions and producers and distributors in the Kingston area to explore the adoption of local food options. Supported by the Greenbelt Fund, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting farmers and Ontario agriculture, the conference will feature presentations, workshops and group discussions.

Of course, the event카지노 게임 컬렉션s lunch is made with ingredients sourced from local producers and prepared by Hospitality Services.
With Hospitality Services having collaborated previously with the Centre for Social Impact, working together on the conference seemed like a natural fit. Along with the conference, the two groups will be working to promote local food initiatives in Kingston.
