As the new year approached, our staff were thinking of ways to make it truly extraordinary for everyone who has been part of our journey. Inspired by the spirit of gratitude and unity, we came up with a plan to create a cookbook that would not only celebrate the diverse tastes of our community but also serve as a token of appreciation for the unwavering support we’ve received.
The idea was simple yet profound—our Case Managers and admin staff would each contribute their favourite recipes to create a collective culinary masterpiece. Each dish would carry a personal touch, a reflection of the unique stories and backgrounds that make our community so special.
With passion and dedication, our marketing team set out to transform this concept into a visually stunning and user-friendly cookbook. Every page became a canvas, carefully designed to capture the essence of our community’s rich culture. From the branded pinks to the thoughtful layout, our goal was to create a cookbook that made everyone feel welcome in the world of delicious home-cooked meals after the challenging years we all experienced previously. From hearty comfort foods to exotic delights, each dish held the power to bring people together around the table – something we have all been craving in 2023.
If you joined us at our recent 2023 Winter Wonderland Holiday Party, you might already have a hard copy of this treasure. We want everyone to have a piece of this culinary adventure (even if you could not attend the party), so the digital version is now available for free! No matter where you are or your skill level in the kitchen, CPLF’s Cookbook is an open invitation to join in on the joy of cooking. Download your copy, explore new flavours, and share your kitchen tales with us on the last page!
We’re incredibly thankful for each person in our inclusive community, especially our clients who are the guiding lights behind our shared success. In expressing our gratitude, we would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our partners at PDD (Persons with Developmental Disabilities) for their ongoing support and collaboration, which enriches the lives of many within our community. A special acknowledgment to our amazing team and guardians; you all make CPLF feel like a welcoming home for everyone.
Your contributions, whether in plain sight or behind the scenes, forms the solid foundation of our extraordinary community. May the coming days be filled with warmth, joy, and fulfillment!
