Cultural Dessert Taste Test Experience
On February 11th, students gathered for a unique and flavorful experience at our Cultural Dessert Taste Test Experience in the CDS Dining Hall, an event designed to celebrate global traditions through food. Hosted by the Senior School Diversity Club, the event featured eight stations, each offering a delicious dessert or delicacy from different countries, prepared by parent and staff volunteers.
From Eton Mess to Jamaican Black Cake, Tanghulu to Bibingka, the variety of desserts showcased the richness of culinary traditions from around the world. Students had the opportunity not only to taste these treats, but also to engage in conversations with the volunteers, learning about the history, significance, and personal connections behind each dish.
The event was a resounding success, drawing a large number of students who were eager to discover new flavours and learn about different cultures. Beyond the tastings, it sparked meaningful conversations and a deeper appreciation for diverse traditions.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to our parent and staff volunteers for sharing their time, stories and culinary expertise, all the students who attended, Ms. Scott for her support in providing essential materials, the Communications team for their efforts in promoting the event, and the Dining Hall staff for generously providing their space. Your contributions were invaluable in making this event possible.
We look forward to bringing more meaningful cultural experiences to our school in the future!
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
