Fresh Fest

Tastes Like Home would not have been possible without the support and expertise of Food Champions across our province.


Glimpse the lives of two individuals who are changing the way we think about food.


The Foodie: Simon Thibault

Food writer and journalist, Simon Thibault shares how the Library played a key role in the creation of his book; Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food.


The Food Advocate: Senator Wanda Thomas Bernard

Sitting Senator and cookbook editor, Senator Wanda Thomas Bernard, teaches us the value of food education.


Thank You

We would like to extend a huge and hearty “Thank You” to all the chefs, individuals, organizations, and Halifax Public Libraries staff members who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this project.
