Do you remember when fast food was the exception, rather than the rule? When you walk into your local grocery store, are you concerned about the lack of choice and the absence of locally produced foodstuffs? Do you wish to better understand and support your local farmers, producers and restaurants that cherish the bounty of the land?

It's time to slow down, and rediscover the true pleasures of the table.

Slow Food Ottawa Gatineau is dedicated to celebrating and sharing Canada's rich gastronomic and cultural heritage. From promoting local food sources and traditional farming methods, to sharing knowledge of the production, preparation and cooking of quality local foods, we are committed to helping the residents of Ottawa/Gatineau to gain greater access to, and a fuller understanding of, our distinctly Canadian food traditions.
