Since 2004 we have lead by example in British Columbia. Advocates of sustainability, camaraderie, and education among Chefs and like minded individuals.

Our Mission

The Chefs’ Table Society of British Columbia is a province-wide collaborative dedicated to creating a foundation for the exchange of information between culinary professionals. We support innovative and sustainable programs that will inspire, educate and nurture our chefs, our producers and our local food industry. We promote standards of excellence with the aim of enhancing the reputation of our regional cuisine.

The work of the Chefs Table Society has helped develop and nurture a community of Chefs and like minded individuals in our great province. Without their dedicated work, our community would be less vibrant and rich.
