Foods
Our foods program focuses on lifelong skills and enjoyment in the kitchen. Students will have a variety of culinary and baking experiences where they will learn how to provide for themselves and their families while learning how to give back to the community. We put value on honouring treaty six land by growing, harvesting and creating food from our earth. Food studies at Lillian Osborne is also an excellent first step on the pathway to a career in the culinary industry, as students will learn skills used in restaurants, cafeterias, and catering companies around the world.
