WIN 2 tickets to Doxa Fest’s Slow Food Story & Eat at Rocky Mtn Flatbread

April 16th, 2013 admin

In Celebration of the upcoming DOXA Documentary Film Festival, Enter to WIN one pair of tickets & Memberships to ‘Slow Food Story’ on May 5th at The Cinemateque along with a $60 Gift Certificate for dinner at Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.

Slow Food Story is being presented by the DOXA Documentary Film Festival on Sunday May 5th at 3:45pm at The Cinematheque

In 1986, Carlo Petrini founded the ArciGola Gastronomic Association in Italy and three years later in Paris, launched Slow Food, an international anti-fast-food resistance movement. An ebullient presence, Carlìn, as he is affectionately known around the globe, has become an ambassador for thinking about food differently. From the tiny town of Bra, home to some 27,000 inhabitants, the Slow Food movement has grown to become a revolution, that now has roots in more than 150 countries. Cheese-makers, vintners, and artisanal food folk, toast Slow Food for bringing about a change in consciousness that shook the very foundation of gastronomy. Director Stefano Sardo brings a decidedly down home approach, as he follows Carlo and his close-knit group of friends, from their earliest days as political radicals, to later struggles with unexpected tragedy. A joyous romp of a film, filled with all manner of delectable scenes of food, drink and song, Slow Food amply demonstrates that adventure is best served in heaping helpings.

 

Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co

At Rocky Mountain Flatbread we serve delicious housemade dishes: handcrafted flatbread pizzas, daily pastas, seasonal salads and soups, desserts “to live for” and a wide selection of BC wines and local beers.We are proud of many things at Rocky Mountain Flatbread, including: using lots of local and organic ingredients, open kitchens with artisan ovens, environmentally-friendly kids play area, local hero pictures on our walls and the fact that the “carbon footprint” of every meal = 0.

Drop the Salt for a chance to Win $150 Gift Certificate to Absolute Spa

February 14th, 2013 admin

Since we all have too much salt in our daily diets, The Heart and Stroke Foundation has made it easier for British Columbians to join the movement calling for nutrition information in BC restaurants.

They have launched WeWantIt.hsf.ca so people can tell BC restaurants to list the calories, fat, sugar, and sodium and other nutritional information for their menu items.

Research shows nearly two-thirds of Canadian adults want to see nutrition information in all restaurants, not just fast food outlets. For individuals with medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, having nutrition information available helps them make the best choices they can to manage their own health needs.

On the website, people can identify their favourite restaurant and add their first name to the We Want It list. Heart and Stroke Foundation will send the list to each restaurant identified.  Include the reason you want it and you could win a gift card to a participating Health Check restaurant. To respect privacy, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is not tracking people’s personal information.

Join the movement at WeWantIt.hsf.ca.

The contest winner will receive:

$150 Gift Certificate to Absolute Spa * (can be redeemed at any of their multiple locations in the lower mainland, including the Century Hotel downtown). www.absolutespa.com

One winner will be randomly selected from all submissions, contest closes at 11pm on February 19, 2013

Now for the CONTEST

To enter you must do the following:

1)    Enter a restaurant that you think should provide nutritional information here http://wewantit.hsf.ca/index.php 

2)    Write in the comment below and tell us that you suggested a restaurant to provide their nutritional information

3)    Retweet the following on twitter:
