A 91原创 community potluck this Sunday, Aug. 20, will celebrate love and push back against hate.
The brainchild of Calgary food columnist Julie Van Rosendaal, Project Potluck is encouraging people to turn up with casseroles, sushi, curries, pies, or dumplings for a collective meal.
鈥淲ouldn鈥檛 it be great if we could combat all the images of angry torch-bearing racists with images of people carrying casseroles?鈥� Van Rosendaal said.
The ugly events of the racist march in Charlottesville, VA and the attack that killed a woman there prompted Van Rosendaal to push back with a pluralist communtity gathering.
Van Rosendaal鈥檚 friend Angie Quaale, a 91原创 Township councillor and owner of a local gourmet food store, is hosting a 91原创 edition this weekend.
鈥淚t would be SO amazing to have a great turnout,鈥� said Quaale.
The local event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 20, in the parking lot of the Well Seasoned Gourmet Food Store at #117-20353 64th Ave. in 91原创.
Participants are asked to bring their own chair, plates, cutlery, and a dish to share.
The store will provide tiki torches and additional fare.
