Established in 2015, Chefs in the Classroom, an initiative by the Okanagan Chefs Association, thrives on the dedication of passionate volunteers, including chefs, gardeners, nutritionists, and exceptional community members. Every spring, we eagerly enter classrooms across the Okanagan, sharing our expertise and love for cultivating, cooking, and enjoying locally sourced, healthy foods with enthusiastic grade 3 students.

As the program evolves each year, we are thrilled to announce updates, incorporating valuable feedback into revised lesson plans. In our continuous commitment to growth, this year brings expanded indigenous content, additional knife safety skills, and exciting new recipes to enrich the culinary journey for all participants.
