Ottawa Tourism has initiated an innovative collaboration with La Tablée des Chefs, aiming to enhance food recovery efforts in the event industry. This groundbreaking partnership marks the first cooperation of its kind between a Destination Management Organization (DMO) and La Tablée des Chefs in Canada, highlighting Ottawa Tourism’s dedication to both sustainability and community welfare. The program focuses on reducing food wastage while tackling community food shortages.

This initiative equips event venues, including those hosting international congresses, with the necessary tools to donate excess food to local community groups. Working in close coordination with both donors and community entities, La Tablée des Chefs ensures the food recovery process is efficient, safe, and well-integrated into the venue operations.

Ottawa Tourism’s effort fosters connections between event venues and local community organizations, enabling a direct channel for food donation. This partnership allows event organizers to positively influence the local community, aligning with their broader social responsibility goals.

Embedded in Ottawa’s Destination Stewardship Plan, this initiative underscores the importance of sustainability and social commitment within the tourism sector. It aligns with the Plan’s objectives, showing Ottawa Tourism’s proactive role in bridging the gap between hospitality partners and La Tablée des Chefs to combat food insecurity.

La Tablée des Chefs, a non-profit organization, operates under a dual mission: to feed and educate. It aims to alleviate immediate food insecurity while also educating young people to be self-sufficient in managing their nutritional needs.
