Savour The Work
Where culinary discovery meets community conversation
Since 1982, The Working Centre has built dynamic spaces where community forms and people find places of belonging and practical supports. Community often starts by gathering together around a common theme – and often, food.
Savour The Work is an invitation to join The Working Centre as we gather in discussion while exploring some of the delicious, cultural, and welcoming cafés, restaurants, and bars of the Kitchener-Waterloo Region.
The simple act of being present in intentional public spaces together weaves us into a more diverse community where all can participate.
If you are interested in collaborating with The Working Centre on a food and gathering event at your locale, please contact us at [email protected].
