Terry the Chef behind the fabulous food at Lavender Blue Catering and Le Finis restaurant. She is classically French trained and attended George Brown Culinary School right out of highschool.

She is a community champion when it comes to hunger and poverty, starting her own soup preparation club-Stir the Pot, which gives back to our local Women’s shelter.

Located in the heart of Orangeville’s downtown core, The Bluebird Café and Grill originated in 1982 from a natural food store owned by Jennifer Grant. Jennifer had a deep desire to open a little healthy eatery in conjunction with her retail operation. When the unit beside her store on Broadway became available, she leapt at the opportunity. “The Bluebird Café” name was inspired by a local regular and friend who had been a driving force in re-populating the Eastern Bluebird in our county. The bluebird box program was initiated to bring the bluebird numbers back up to a healthy presence.

This initiative works to provide paid employment and job training for those looking.to enter or re-enter the workforce in an environment suited to their needs. B Social provides employment opportunities through cafés at the Orangeville Georgian College campus, Edelbrock Centre and pre covid at the Dufferin County Courthouse and services to the Orangeville Foodbank. In addition, B Social provides employment at the B Social Snack Bars, located in the Alder Recreational Centre and Tony Rose Sports Centre. The support of the Town of Orangeville and Dufferin County has been integral to this initiative by providing the venues where we are able to offer our training and employment opportunities. The B Social team has grown from 6 employees following COVID closures to 20 employees as of April 2023. Through this initiative we have also trained and employed several persons who have since moved on to other meaningful full-time employment in food services through-out Dufferin County. This can be accredited to the skills acquired while in B Social’s employ.
