EMPOWERING STUDENTS, NOURISHING COMMUNITY

The Terry Fox Secondary Ravenous Raven Bistro is a life skills initiative aimed at teaching work readiness, food service skills and fostering community. Here at the Bistro, not only are we proud of the quality of our product, but of the students that craft it.

Origin Story ~ Terry Fox Secondary Skills Squad

The Skills Squad has been at the forefront of the Terry Fox school community for the past few years, with Brew Haha, their coffee delivery program, staff luncheons and Soup! There it is! weekly soup program. Each of these food service activities have shown us the greatness neurodivergent youth can accomplish when they are given an opportunity to shine. Given the growing gap between high school and adult transition, there is a need to provide more work readiness experiences for our Squad students.

WHERE STUDENTS SOAR - ONE BITE AT A TIME

The Ravenous Raven Bistro provides a school-based employment opportunity for our neurodivergent youth but also allows them to give back to their community and connect with diverse community members. We are bridging the gap between the routine of secondary school and the real-life requirements of adulthood.

BOLD FLAVORS. BRIGHT FUTURES.

The Skills Squad has been a cornerstone of the Terry Fox Secondary School community since 2015. Always dabbling in food and beverage delivery, they have just branched out into a school catering business.

A LABOUR OF LOVE

Students are responsible for menu development, supply purchasing, food preparation, table side service, bussing, cashier duties, cleaning and customer service.
