Beyond the Bake Sale

These days, food fundraising efforts have moved beyond the bake sales many of us grew up with. As our country diversifies, so are community fundraising efforts, reflecting the changing faces — and palates — of Canada. Join host Jennifer Warren as she pitches in at a small-town Ontario legion to help a school prepare over 200 Indian takeout meals, meets someone who's reconnecting with his Chinese culture by hand-folding thousands of dumplings for anti-racist causes, and learns why pounding mochi is helping second and third-generation Japanese Canadians create their own cultural practice after the erasure of internment. Plus, find out why accessing and sharing cuisine specific to one's own culture is an essential component of food security.
