Learning to Prepare Healthy, Budget Friendly Meals
Take home the FOOD you make!
In 2005, we were pleased to announce the addition of The Interfaith Chinook Country Kitchen (TICCK), a program formed through a unique partnership with Family Centre.
In addition to these classes, TICCK staff provide information on nutrition, meal ideas, and parenting tips as requested.
We also provide options to use our resources at your own facility through our “On The Go” program, with mobile totes, food support, and training available on how to facilitate your own kitchen programs. For more information on the On the Go program please contact the Kitchen Coordinator at 403-320-8138.

Social skills are developed through sharing and cooperation; early math skills increased by counting, measuring; spatial awareness is increased; and they use all their senses. This is a free program for parents with a child aged 3-6. Recipes made will be taken home, please bring along containers

This is a cooperative program where we will work in teams to quickly prepare large amount of food that will be shared among all the participants. Together, we will cook, clean, and package multiple recipes. By working together, we can save a lot of time and money! As a bonus, we can make new friends, create community connections, and find ways to help each other in times of need. Please bring along containers to take food home.
