About Food Day Canada

Food Day Canada (FDC) was originally created by Anita Stewart, the University of Guelph’s former Food Laureate. This year Food Day Canada takes place on August 5, 2023. Food Day Canada is a chance for all Canadians to join in on one massive celebration in praise of our food producers, our chefs and researchers, and our home cooks. The mission is to actively promote the growth and study of Canadian food culture.
