Waste Not, Want Not Food Festival
Come join us for this years Waste Not, Want Not Food Festival, held Sept 12, 14, 20, and 21st on the Concordia Campuses!
The Food Fair starts at 11 AM each day and goes until 4 PM, and we will be giving away sustainable, organic, and local food from our wonderful sponsors. Food includes apples and brownies from The Hive, organic local Popcorn from White Lightening Popcorn, with toppings from Frigo Vert, and coffee for people who bring their own reusable cup!
Grab a snack, and learn all about where, how, and why to compost at Concordia.
As well, we will have booths from other sustainability innitatives from around campus. It’s basically a one stop shop to find out who’s doing awesome things for the environment on campus. And did we mention the free food and coffee?
Don’t forget to bring your own mug!!!
Also, this year we are pleased to announce the addition of artists and artwork at each of the events. We will have a variety of works from performance, visual art, interactive multi media art, and music.
See the schedule below to see where we will be when, and who will be joining us!
