Are you 'hungry' to learn this spring? Are you, or a foodie you know, interested in a 'taste' of something new?  Join us and "Spring into Learning," with four different virtual food-related events that will not only support local businesses, but also 'whet your appetite' for learning in this season of new beginnings!

From baking bread to taking part in a chocolate tasting, there’s something for every learner. Each workshop is paired with additional materials, which are usually available for pick up in either Orillia or Thunder Bay, or can be mailed if needed. 

All sessions involve components using the Zoom platform. Not familiar with Zoom?  No problem.  Our team will reach out to provide support as needed prior to these events. All you need to do is email cell@lakeheadu.ca to make arrangements!

All sessions will also be recorded for those unable to attend in real-time.  Each session costs $30, and they are available to Lakehead staff, students, and alumni for just $20.  Shipping (for the chocolate and Shumka Dust workshops) is available for $10, and shipping for the breadmaking workshop is included in the price.
