“We were actually going to have this on the University of Saskatchewan campus,” Monchuk said. “This is our first go round so if it is a success, we are hoping to do it again in the future.
“We are excited to know there are so many schools that are interested in learning more are about food and farming.”
As a part of the program, students will receive a hot egg sandwich and a drink from a local Tim Hortons. They will also receive a bag with additional snacks, recipes, and additional activities showcasing Saskatchewan grown foods. Farm and Food Care is also coordinating a series of interactive online activities such as virtual farm tours and agricultural trivia contests for students to learn more about Saskatchewan food and farming.
