📣 Exciting news for Parade of Chefs attendees! 🎉
Chef Dave Formosa from the Chatham-Kent John D. Bradley Convention Centre is thrilled to present a truly unique dish inspired by his incredible experience during the 2017 Kenow wildfire in Waterton National Park. 🌲🔥
His creation, smoked beef cheeks braised with haskap berry jus, served with potato puree and charred greens, tells the remarkable story of resilience—of the lone bison who survived the wildfire. Left behind during the evacuation, this bison found its way through pools of water and lived on, a symbol of strength and survival.
Join us for this unforgettable culinary experience, where food meets story and inspiration. 🍽️

Last night, the @specialolympicsontario brought its inspiring event to a close with a vibrant and heartfelt celebration at the Chatham-Kent John D. Bradley Convention Centre! The evening was filled with joy, excitement, and pride after the last few days of competitions throughout Chatham-Kent. The festivities kicked off with a lively pizza party, the passing of the Special Olympics flag and torch to the city hosting the 2025 games and extinguishing the flame of hope until next year. We then turned up the tunes and had a dance party, where participants hit the dance floor to celebrate their accomplishments! Congratulations to all the athletes, volunteers, supporters and organizers who made this event unforgettable. It’s amazing to see our community work together for such a great cause! #specialolympicsontario #specialolympics #ckont #ontsouthwest #ckentconventions #ckcc #schoolchamps2024
