A collaboration between Chilliwack LIP and Rise Baking Lab

This project embarks on a culinary journey with new immigrants, weaving together the rich tapestry of diverse baking traditions and personal stories. Breaking Bread is a cooking series that celebrates the stories of newcomers in one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities—one that’s quickly becoming more diverse with each passing year.

In this 6-part series, each episode features a different immigrant to Chilliwack. They share the story of their journey to Canada and to the Fraser Valley, highlighting the challenges they faced, the people that supported them along the way, and the immense resilience and strength that they embody. While sharing their story, they cook a cultural recipe, which you are invited to try!

Consider following along: cook the recipes and watch the episodes, whether on your own, with family, friends, or  neighbours. Be a part of creating meaningful connection in your community.
