Candice Batista, host of A Greener Toronto on Rogers TV will serve as emcee for the evening. Candice has collaborated with Enlightened Events in the past, sharing her in-depth understanding of global weather patterns as the opening speaker at the EcoSavvy Festival. “Candice was a natural choice to be emcee at EcoSUAVE 2009” says Mr Tommy Trinh, Co-founder of Enlightened Events. “Candice's A Greener Toronto and our events share a commonality, in that we both feature green businesses in the hopes to inspire others to live greener lives.”

“We created this event as a fun and interactive way for guests to learn about ‘greener’ food and drink options“ says Mr Trinh. “Guests will learn that when you couple local food production with sustainable farming practices, what you get is delicious & healthy food that benefits the consumer, the farmer, and the environment”
