Canada's Answer to European Hospitality Schools Now in Winnipeg
(firmenpresse) - WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/13 -- Editors Note: There are two photos associated with this press release.
Canada's newest hospitality and culinary school opened its anchor restaurant today - Jane's - the final piece in a 10-storey school where students learn, work and live in a facility modeled after the best European schools - all housed in a fully renovated historic building.
"From here we are going to attract people from around the world to Winnipeg," said Red River College President Stephanie Forsyth as she opened the doors to Jane's--the opulent 90-seat fine dining restaurant of the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute in the 1904 restored Union Bank Tower in downtown Winnipeg. "Learning and working in a space like this really inspires staff and students to do their best. The institute will attract and graduate the best hospitality people in Canada."
"As the anchor restaurant, Jane's provides the finishing touches to a school that the Canadian hospitality industry has been requesting for decades - a Canadian equivalent of the finest hotel and culinary schools in Europe. This is Canada's answer. The Paterson GlobalFoods Institute combines culinary, baking and pastry arts, mixology and hospitality management with a student residence. At Jane's, for example, the classroom is the restaurant. Students prepare and serve the meals in an open-concept kitchen, allowing guests to see the students and learn more about cooking while they dine," Forsyth said.
Jane's is named after Jane B. Paterson, the mother of Andrew B. Paterson, the current owner of Paterson GlobalFoods Inc. Andrew Paterson says that his mother, who passed away in 2003, would have been proud to dine at Jane's restaurant; she always appreciated hard work and youth who were learning a trade.
"When we were first approached to make a contribution to the building it was our company's 100th anniversary in business. We wanted to make a significant impact on the city by helping to restore this beautiful heritage building in keeping with the rich history of our company in this community," said Paterson, whose company donated $2 million.
