Tis the season everybody! This Christmas, in the spirit of the holidays I'll be working to help raise money for Miklat Recovery Society .

I'll be cooking a Christmas feast for the ages on Saturday, December 17th at Evangel Pentocostal Church

100% off the proceeds are to be donated to Miklat, to help them give the best primary care possible to those trying to beat the demon of alcohol and drug addiction. Miklat is a Non-profit, locally based, 10 bed treatment facility located here in the Qathet region. They have many options available to those facing the financial challenges that sometimes serve as an impossible barrier to getting help and finding a path to happyness in sobriety.

Tickets are cheap, and the meal is going to be excellent, Sysco Canada has donated close to 40kg of turkey for the event and I'll be up front carving prime ribs compliments of our friend at Save on Foods All the other fixings like stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted veg, and apple pie will be on the buffet. The plan is to fill some bellies and have some fun while raising money for Miklat.

Hope to see you all there!

Tickets are available here

A fun night of holiday feasting, guest speakers and Holiday Cheer! Join us, as we fill belly's in the name of recovery!

I can’t wait to knock these two favourites out of the park for you guys!

Shout out to Jeremy for the suggestion!
