Left: The People’s Dietitian Patricia Chuey attended Canola Camp in Saskatoon five years ago and says the event “sets the bar with its great people, variety of learning opportunities and open dialogue.” Right: Cookbook author Raghavan Iyer became a big canola booster after seeing how much the yellow fields reminded him of mustard fields in his native India.
