Congratulations to Red River College instructor Tim Appleton, who was recently named Chef of the Year by the Winnipeg branch of the Canadian Culinary Federation (CCFCC).

An instructor in RRC’s School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts, Appleton (shown above, third from left) has been an active member of the Winnipeg Chefs Association for years, and has been involved in the CCFCC at both the board and national level.

The Chef of the Year Award recognizes a deserving chef who has demonstrated both commitment to (and involvement in) the CCFCC Winnipeg Branch, as well as the community in general.

The award is voted on by a committee within the CCFCC, based on nominations brought forward by membership. The CCFCC is Canada’s national association for chefs and cooks, with 40 branches throughout the country providing links between industry and career development.
