As part of a series of profiles on initiatives connecting children and youth to good food, the Ontario Edible Education Network has featured the impressive Cafeteria Connects project coming out of Durham Region, after speaking with Ecosource's School Food Program Manager Soni Craik, who also sits on our Board.

With the progressive help from Ecosource and Durham College, the Region of Durham is doing admirable work in the area of local food procurement and food education. Check out how the Cafeteria Connects project has brought local food (as well as food education) into Durham District School Boards.

To further build on these connections, Durham College has invited DDSB teachers to their campus this month, to show teachers career options they could have in food and farming through courses at the college in furthering their education. We are excited to see the possibilities and relationships that will sprout from such integrated, innovative work.
