As Canada’s foodservice industry looks ahead, it’s the next generation—newcomers, young workers, and career changers—who will define its future. But building workplaces where people truly feel they belong takes more than good intentions; it takes leadership, empathy, and action.

Watch as The Re-Seasoning Coalition (TRSC) dives into a powerful session on what it really takes to create inclusive, future-ready teams and how operators can create workplaces where employees of all backgrounds want to grow and build lasting careers. Chef Michael Smith is joined in conversation with Chef Suzanne Barr as they share how fostering mentorship and purpose to create a true sense of belonging is vital, then followed by Elle Asiedu and Chef Philman George from TRSC, who unpack new national research and real-world strategies to help operators attract, retain, and grow diverse talent—because the future of foodservice starts with the people who make it possible.
