2 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.

3 Executive Chef Geoffrey Morden Executive Chef Geoffrey Morden joined the Shaw Centre team following an illustrious career with Fairmont Hotels in both urban and resort properties that included Fairmont Château Lake Louise, Fairmont Winnipeg and most recently the Fairmont Château Laurier, where he launched his career in Chef Morden was born in Ottawa and educated at the esteemed Stratford Chefs School. While his culinary foundations are classical French, his cooking philosophy is firmly entrenched in Canada, and focuses on taking full advantage of fresh local and regional ingredients. Geoffrey has extensive experience in the preparation of Regional Canadian, European, Thai, and Indian cuisine. His menus are a reflection of his cumulative culinary knowledge, but reveal his local roots in unique and creative ways. Taking on culinary oversight at the Shaw Centre represented a departure for Chef Morden one he has been preparing for his entire career. The fact that the Centre is situated in Ottawa, where he grew up and returned with his young family, was a huge bonus. With its bounty of local and regional producers, Chef Morden affirms that Ottawa is an exceptional place to practice the culinary arts. Chef Morden is a member of the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks, holds a Certificate of Advanced Sommelier from Algonquin College and is an accomplished ice carver.
