Olympians show support across Canada for Gold Medal Plates
Celebrated in ten cities across Canada in 2015, Gold Medal Plates is the ultimate celebration of Canadian Excellence in cuisine, wine, the arts and athletic achievement.
The fundraising event features the premier chefs in each city in a competition to crown a gold, silver and bronze medal culinary team, and subsequently nation-wide at the Canadian Culinary Championships. Net proceeds from the event are given to the Canadian Olympic Foundation (COF). This season marks the 10-year anniversary of Gold Medal Plates support of the COF, a fantastic partnership that has seen over $9.5 million raised for high-performance athletes.
