World Egg Day spotlight: Egg Farmers of Ontario partnership with Algonquin College
Posted on Friday, October 8th, 2021
World Egg Day is to perfect time to learn more about Algonquin College and the Egg Farmers of Ontario’s partnership to create a recipe for student success.
The $250,000, five-year partnership, first announced in 2018, built a state-of-the-art pastry lab and provides ongoing research and training opportunities for students and faculty in Hospitality and Tourism programs.
“Over the next five years we will be donating $50,000 a year to the School of Hospitality and Tourism,” Scott Graham, Chair of the Egg Farmers of Ontario, told about 100 students, faculty and employees who attended the launch event in 2018. “We’d be proud to be involved with Algonquin College in any and every program we can be,” he added.
A recent example of the ongoing partnership is an annual Egg Farmers of Ontario student video contest launched in December 2020, AC Culinary and Baking students were rchallenged with submitting a short video of themselves creating dishes using Ontario eggs. The videos were judged on creativity, proper cooking skills and food safety. Although it was difficult to pick two finalists out of the 16 amazing videos submitted, the judges chose the following two videos. Winners received a $50 gift certificate to Savoir Fare.
Have a look at the delicious results!
