A big shout out to Maritime Pride Eggs and Wonderbrands Inc. (formerly Weston Bakery) for making sure the local elementary students have the opportunity to dine on French Toast! They are donating eggs and bread this year to local elementary schools in town - Cumberland North Academy, Spring Street Academy, and West Highlands Elementary - who will all be creating a french toast meal for their students during the week of French Toast Fest. We have also partnered with the organizations who host the monthly Free Community Suppers to ensure that they can incorporate a French Toast component into their free meal for the community on March 22.
Special thanks as well to the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture for providing sponsorship through their Buy Local initiative, allowing us to purchase local maple syrup for French Toast Fest 2024 and supplying that to participating restaurants, schools, and to the community supper.
Some things are just better together! Our award-winning video tells the tale of a matchmaker who brings two young neighbours – one works at a local egg production facility, the other works at a local bread plant – together over a meal of french toast, and suggest things are “better together.” The video was recognized by the Economic Developers Association of Canada with a Marketing Canada Award for best marketing video in Canada for 2019.
Big thanks to the folks at One Eyed Bear Production, Brown's Guest Home, Buds to Blossoms Floral Boutique, Weston Bakeries, Maritime Pride Eggs and to the neighbours on Clifford St. for their help in pulling it all together!
