The Savour show is presented by RANL and is a fun way to highlight the great restaurants we have in our province.

This year Savour enjoyed record ticket sales and attendance and was made possible by the generous sponsorship of the NLC, Dept. TCR, The Telegram, VOCM, The Delta and ACOA.

RANL also uses the Savour show to give back to the community. A donation is made every year to the Community Food Sharing Association.

RANL also uses the Savour show as a venue to present two scholarships each year that is funded by Industry Patron Sponsors. The generous support of many of our industry’s suppliers makes it possible for RANL to offer a $1000 scholarship to a cooking student and a service/management student.

Ryan Heath, CNA cooking student, accepts his scholarship cheque from Andrea Maunder and Bob Moakler of RANL.

Emily Kean of the Tourism and Hospitality Management program at CNA accepts her scholarship cheque from RANL .
