Refugee Food Fest MTL


Overview

On Jun 20th, the world commemorates the strength, courage and resilience of millions of refugees around the globe. World Refugee Day is also an opportunity for local residents to show their support for uprooted families and neighbours.

As part of the world wide citizens initiative founded by Food Sweet Food association and with the support of the UN High Committee for Refugees (UNHCR), The Refugee Food Fest seeks to provide refugee chefs to share their cultural inventions with the support of the community.

In collaboration with Singa Quebec and their project Un Rêve Dans Votre Assiette, Memoria explores the multiple stories from immigrants, local residents and local knowledge through food connections. We acknowledge how important these connections are and it is with immense joy that we invite you to come and learn from them.

We asked people to share their stories from either of two questions:

  1. What is a food memory from your childhood that is so important to you and why?

  2. What is one wish you would like to give for the millions of refugees around the world?
