ONE WAY TO celebrate International Women’s Day is to support women-led businesses. Here in Vancouver, with so much female talent in the culinary arts, there are some tasty ways to do just that.
The North Shore Women’s Centre and Anatoli Souvlaki are pairing up this International Women’s Day for a take-out meal event benefitting the centre and celebrating girls and women across the North Shore, all through delicious Greek food. Providing support and services in English and Farsi, the NSWC offers a drop-in resource centre, single mom’s support group, family law clinic, girls empowerment summer camp, health and wellness programs, basic computer training, and more. By purchasing a $75 ticket, people can call Anatoli to order from a set menu that will be available to March 14. Dinner options include chicken and lamb souvlaki, spanakopita, and vegan moussaka, all served with Greek salad, roast potatoes, rice, and tzatziki. For information, visit eventbrite.ca.
