For this dinner, we’re proud to announce our partnership with Organic Ocean who’ve provided sustainably sourced Gitanyow sockeye salmon as a special treat for our guests. Located in northwestern British Columbia, Gitanyow Fisheries has a mission to provide high-quality salmon products caught in their sustainable community-run fisheries and to re-invest from every salmon sold into local salmon stewardship.
We’re also excited to announce a unique chance to experience perfectly curated wine pairings for each course from Nk'Mip Cellars. Located just outside Osoyoos, British Columbia, Nk'Mip Cellars is the first Indigenous-owned winery in North America.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to experience Chef Chris Commandant’s distinctive culinary talent, Gitanyow sockeye salmon, and Nk’Mip wines here in Ottawa!
