Learn about the Cooks & Books workshop series, see workshop photos and recipes for Soup in a Jar and Energy Bites. The free workshops offer simple, practical food skills while building confidence in reading recipes, following instructions, and trying something new.

A three-part Cooks & Books series kicks off in April with Soup In A Jar, being offered at all five VIRL locations in the North Vancouver Island. The Mount Waddington Family Literacy Society (MWFLS), Island Health, and Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL) are teaming up to help you eat – and live – healthier.

An empowering, hands-on learning experience explored practical tools for meal planning and grocery budgeting.

A wonton workshop was such a hit, it's being offered again in partnership with Sacred Wolf Friendship Centre in Port Hardy.
