ECHEN is proud to introduce a revised version of a community kitchen for the Dakelh territory.
Our goal is to discover a style of kitchen that combines the best of traditional and modern cooking techniques.

At each event we anticipate a maximum attendance of 7-10 participants, as well as kitchen staff, program coordinators and volunteers. The event should last roughly 3 hours and at the end of the event, participants will have the opportunity to purchase portions of food at $2.00/portion, which will include one meal portion, and one beverage portion. Each event of the program will select a different traditional recipe then the week prior, and host a different elder, teacher or knowledge keeper when possible.

Our goals are to educate participants in:

Nutrition
Food Budgets
Basic Kitchen Skills
Food safe standards

We will also host discussions on:

Traditional food
View policies and regulation
(ie Canadian Food pyramid vs indigenous food pyramid)
Identify gaps within the food system
