Lunching with the GG at the Screaming Avocado

Posted by • June 1, 2011

Stratford Northwestern's Screaming Avocado Cafe has been host to many dignitaries over the past few years, but none quite like their latest guest. Canada's Governor General, David Johnston and his wife not only came for lunch with students of the Culinary Arts Program, he donned an apron for some basic lessons in food preparation.

The visit took place on Monday, May 30, 2011 and bringing the "GG" to the Screaming Avocado provided yet another feather in the cap of Program Leader Paul Finkelstein. Paul says, "This is another great opportunity for our students and highlights not only our program but provides our young with an experience of a lifetime."

Grade 10 student Elijah Detering who was part of the teaching team for His Excellency, Canada's representative to the Queen, says it was a real honour for him to have this opportunity.
