Presented by Eat North, Alberta beef, Saskatchewan sour cherries, cold-pressed canola and Manitoba goldeye will bolster the dining menus, alongside locally made spirits, ciders and tonics. Event organizer and co-founder of Eat North Dan Clapson notes that the dinners aim to showcase why people should be proud to live in Canada’s prairie provinces. “We are bringing unique aspects of the prairies as a whole to each different city — you could dine in Calgary and get a taste of something amazing from a Winnipeg chef.” In addition to an artisan food menu, each dining event will feature an array of custom prairie-made wares, fashion items and work from visual artists. —Kylee Pedersen PROUD TO BE PRAIRIE
