Upcoming event: Terroir Identity and Seduction Symposium
| February 20, 2009 | to | February 22, 2009 |
Terroirs are “vibrant and innovative spaces that define the people who live there and reflect a marriage between traditions, culture and the natural environment.”
The Terroir Identity and Seduction Symposium (presented by the Assemblée communautaire fransaskoise (ACF) and its partner, the University of Regina’s Institut francais) plans to bring entrepreneurs, farmers, governments, researchers and consumers together reflect on the enormous potential of terroir development for Saskatchewan’s rural communities.
Symposium participants will attend Saskatchewan-focused workshops dealing with a variety of local themes (regional development, culture and food, organic/natural gardening, agri-tourism, project development, and slow food, among others). The weekend’s schedule also includes discussion panels, a local taste show and gala banquet (featuring La Raquette à Claquettes).
