For the past 16 years, Alison Bell has been the Chef Instructor at David Thompson Secondary School (DTSS) in Invermere, BC. The students at the Rocky Mountain Café, the school's cafeteria, learn the fundamentals of professional cooking while preparing delicious, healthy foods for the entire school community. The Chef Training program at DTSS has been recognized provincially and nationally for its healthful and innovative approach to cuisine. Culinary students are taught the importance of a sustainable local food system through farm visits, by taking part in the harvest at local farms and by producing salad greens, herbs and edible flowers in the Community Greenhouse at DTSS. Further, the entire school community learns about the local foods featured at the Rocky Mountain Cafe through the school’s televised "Local Food Report." The Rocky Mountain Green Team, comprised of students from the Chef Training program, recently won at the BC Green Games with their entry entitled "The Local Food Project: calculating food miles."
