Welcome to the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Association of Foodservice Professionals. With over 160 members, Toronto is currently the largest CAFP Branch in Canada. Our diverse membership base consists of professionals working in all areas of the foodservice industry, including operations, healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, sales, education, purchasing and consulting.
Our branch is dedicated to delivering the best education, networking and mentoring opportunities possible to its members. Two key initiatives are: Top Management Night Gala Dinner & Fundraiser, recognizing the leaders in our industry; and Copper Chef Competition, which aims to connect young professionals with the foodservice and hospitality industry. There is variety of informative education programs consisting of dinner meetings, plant tours and online sessions allow us to deliver this mandate to every member from student to front line managers, suppliers, chefs, to CEO level. The theme for our 2010-2011 monthly education program is “Raising the Bar…Journey to Excellence”.

The Toronto branch supports five student branches: Centennial College, George Brown College, Humber College, Ryerson University and the University of Guelph. Each year we award over $10 000 to deserving students through our scholarship program. Graduating students are eligible for reduced membership fees during their first year in industry after graduation. In addition to working with local post secondary institutions, the Toronto Branch has added representatives from 5 Greater Toronto Area school boards to its Senior Management Advisory Council (SMAC), which consists of senior level executives from 12 companies who provide ideas, support and resources to the branch.
