Cooking with Class will run again Fall 2022

“Cooking with Class” is an eight-week cooking program for children between the ages of eight and 13 years.  The program is at the West Perth Community Centre.

Participants will learn a collection of food preparation skills that will increase in difficulty as they move through the program as well as general food and kitchen safety knowledge.  They will also be encouraged to try a variety of healthy food options.  Throughout the program, participants will create personalized recipe books which will contain all the recipes they had the opportunity to make.

THANK YOU to our generous sponsors,

Walkom's Valu Mart for donating all the food used in this program for fall 2021, and to

McGratten Children's Fund, held within the Stratford Perth Community Foundation for funding the acquisition of all the cooking equipment and supplies.
