The Good Food Challenge, offered in partnership with York Region Food Network and York Region, helps families learn to plan and prepare healthy meals so that they can save money, time, and food while also reducing their impact on the environment around them.
As part of the Good Food Challenge, MPL will be offering programs during Earth Month, including a Talk & Taste Culinary Workshop (April 30) and a Build a Soil-Arium workshop (May 4), to provide practical tip on how families and individuals can reduce their food waste.
