Canadian Chefs' Congress

The 2010 Canadian Chefs’ Congress is just a month away, and the BC and National Committees are finalizing the minutae of all the logistics involved in bringing over 500 chefs, sponsors, speakers, and volunteers to Providence Farm.

We have posted all the details we can share with you in the Event Info section above. Below is a summary of what’s new.

Delegate and site details now available

If you are registered as a delegate or are going to register soon, please bookmark or print out the Delegate and Site Details page, which provides you with site maps, directions, and instructions for parking, camping, and supplies.

On-site details for participating chefs now available

If you are a chef or sous-chef that is cooking for the Congress delegation next month, please visit the new Participating Chef Details page for a breakdown of what you’ll have on-site versus what you’ll need to request or bring. Print out and email the form on this page to supply the BC Committee with your materials set-up and your requests.

Our Logistics guy, Bill Jones, also wants you to take a look at the photo of the stainless steel dishware that each delegate will have when they approach your station – make sure your portions and presentation plans will work with this!

Workshop listings updated

Take a look at the Workshops page to see what we’ll be talking about during the Congress and which speakers that will be at your disposal for further discussion.

Weekend itinerary updated

Our Schedule page has been refreshed with the run-throughs of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We will continue to make amendments to this schedule as the month progresses.

Site Map now up

The Delegate and Site Details page contains this site map as well as a PDF version for you to download / print. The Delegate Package that you will receive during the Congress will contain a copy of this map.

Travel, carpooling and accommodations

We’ve received a lot of questions about where to stay off-site and how to get to Providence Farm from the airport / ferry. For your convenience, 2 Facebook threads have been started in the Canadian Chefs’ Congress Facebook group:

• Carpooling Facebook thread
• Accommodations Facebook thread

In addition, shuttles will be available at the Victoria airport and Schwartz Bay ferry terminal for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. No shuttles are available from Nanaimo.

Sign-up is required to use this shuttle service – please email ccc2010@canadianchefscongress.com.
