The Canadian Culinary Championship (CCC) is an annual national event that took place from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1 at the Rogers Centre in Ottawa. The winning chefs from 10 different regional qualifiers are gathered to compete in three challenging and entertaining competitions: Mystery Wine, Black Box and the Grand Finale. To be crowned the top chef in Canada at the CCC is a career changer. The competition has yielded three previous winners from Ottawa.
Arkyn Kornell, Megan Zorn and Renée Jewer-Pineau graduated from the public relations program at Algonquin College in 2024.
As early-career professionals, the opportunity to build on their skills on an international scale in crisis simulation at the recent Model National Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was highly appealing.
