Students will start with a tour of BioFoodTech, followed by a presentation from Food Island Partnership, before going to The Culinary Institute of Canada to have lunch at The Marché. Students will then hear from and tour the facilities of Canada's Smartest Kitchen, and end the day with a panel discussion and Q&A opportunity with food entrepreneurs who are current and past clients of the organizations that opened their doors to the group.
