Catering and restaurant services at FortWhyte Alive will change hands on Nov. 1, when Diversity Food Services will take over operations of the Buffalo Stone Café .

Chef Kelly Cattani will be the on-site manager of the café and catering.

“FortWhyte is thrilled to be partnering with an organization such as Diversity
whose commitment to sustainability fits so closely with our own,” Ian Barnett, FortWhyte Alive’s director of operations, said in a release.

“We look forward to sharing this new direction with loyal and new patrons of the Buffalo Stone Café.”

The new menu will feature local, organic and sustainable foods cooked from scratch, including those grown at FortWhyte’s own on-site farm.  

Diversity Food Services currently provides meal services to the University of Winnipeg. Diversity Food Services  is a joint venture between the University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corporation and SEED Winnipeg.

“This new partnership with FortWhyte represents a tremendous opportunity for Diversity to showcase our sustainable cuisine to a whole new audience,” Ian Vickers, chief operating officer of Diversity, said.

The Buffalo Stone Café will be closed for daytime service from Oct. 14 until Oct. 31 during the transition. It will reopen on Sat., Nov. 1.
