The CAFP Northumberland Branch currently has active members all along the Northumberland Shore and even one member who travels from Halifax! Our members represent various facets of the food service industry. We also have a very active and energetic student branch at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish. We meet with the students several times a year and support them through mentoring and financial assistance.
The Northumberland Branch meets monthly, except during the winter; January - February, due to possible weather conditions. The meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of the month, but the day is subject to change depending on the venue. Our schedule of events is listed below. Because our group spans a large area, our meeting locations will vary. Our venues are different and always have a little of the local flare!
We encourage you to attend one of our meetings if you are in the area! New member or old, come join our little group! Please feel free to contact any of our members to find out about our next get together!"
