The local non-profit Island Chefs\u2019 Collaborative (ICC) is hosting a fundraiser dinner to help the organization spread the idea of healthy eating, and they\u2019re doing it with some involvement from a Camosun student and chair. Camosun second-year Hospitality Management student Cameron Nayler is in charge of marketing for the event; he says that the lessons that attendees can learn at the dinner are important for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like Victoria is one of the leading cities in food health. I think it\u2019s really important for kids to learn at a young age how to grow food and eat healthily,\u201d says Nayler. \u201cIt\u2019s a big problem we face\u2014I meet a lot of people who have moved out on their own and they don\u2019t know how to eat healthy. It\u2019s important to be eating healthy not only for your physical well-being, but also for your mental well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nayler just finished his co-op working at Four Seasons. He says that while it was a great experience, and that he loved working there, helping with a local event like this gives him a completely different kind of life experience. Although Nayler won\u2019t be helping with the dinner, he says that one of the chefs who will be has a Camosun connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chef that\u2019ll be cooking at the event is Steve Walker-Duncan,\u201d says Nayler. \u201cSteve is chair of the Culinary [Arts] program here at Camosun; it\u2019ll be him and his students cooking, along with a few members of the ICC. Four Seasons was a really good experience, and I really liked what I did there, but this makes me feel like I\u2019m really giving back to the community and that I\u2019m really making a big difference by doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

A delicious meal cooked by an instructor and his students isn\u2019t the evening\u2019s only selling point. Nayler says that other events, such as an auction, will be held during the dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTicket-buyers can expect some very high-end cooking; it\u2019s fine dining for sure,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a five-course dinner with wine pairings, and we\u2019re going to have some other things available as well during the dinner. We\u2019re going to have a live auction; we\u2019ve already got some stuff lined up, like Canucks tickets, jewelry, and paintings. The turnout last year was really good, and this year we\u2019re projecting all 100 tickets to sell out.\u201d<\/p>\n
