About Our Facilitator:
Mandi Lunan is an independent food and beverage business advisor, the founder of one of the first specialty distribution bakeries in Eastern Ontario, and the new Kootenay Peer Group Chair for BC Food & Beverage.

She also created and developed the wildly popular “Teen Chef Club” program, now active in the Kootenays and the Northwest Territories.
Mandi is thrilled to be the Chair of the first ever BC Food and Beverage Peer Group in the Kootenays. Mandi’s culinary interests include (but are not limited to) dark beer, hard cheese, and spicy foods of all kinds.
