2 Executive Chef Patrick Turcot Patrick Turcot is a Quebec-born Executive Chef bringing with him experience from a distinguished career at numerous prestigious hotels across North America. He found his passion for food and cooking when he was teenager, persuing his dream by graduating from the Institute of Tourism and Hospitality of Quebec. Chef Turcot started his career off joining the kitchen brigade at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, returning to work at the legendary Chateau Frontenac and share his culinary experience with students at Cégep Limoilou in Quebec City. After stints as the Executive Chef at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton and Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, both in Alberta, Chef Turcot was appointed as Executive Chef at the Fairmont Scottsdale in Arizona, where he found new sources of inspiration in the desert and embraced the challenge of working with diverse regional flavours and products. His experiences there laid the foundation for great success as the Head Chef at the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in La Malbaie, Quebec, where he also became a passionate ambassador for culinary tourism throughout the Charlevoix Region. Throughout his career, Chef Turcot has received numerous awards and accolades and has participated in a variety of television productions. In addition to working closely with local producers, Chef Turcot s cuisine is also inspired by classical French techniques and principles, infused with current influences often found through travel.

3 Your Event Can Help End Childhood Hunger Mealshare is a national non-profit organization that believes every child has a right to food. Co-Founders Andrew Hall and Jeremy Bryant, established Mealshare in 2013 with a long-term goal: to one day be able to explain to their grandchildren that there used to be hungry children in the world. Shaw Centre is a proud "Founding Supporter" of Mealshare in Ottawa, and we are happy to extend the opportunity for you to partner with this incredible organization in the fight to end youth hunger. When choosing a menu for your event, please consider a lump sum donation (at your discretion). Every 2 donated provides one meal to a youth in need and helps this important initiative continue to grow. In turn, Shaw Centre will create tent cards for your tables, announcing how many meals your company's generous donation has provided on behalf of your guests via Mealshare. Jeremy Bryant Andrew Hall Cousins and best friends, Hall and Bryant started out with only four partner restaurants in Since then, Mealshare has added over 250 participating restaurants, and has provided more than 765,000 meals to people in need! Ask us about it and help us change the world, one meal at a time.
