About Us

Our purpose is to provide an industry-recognized chef training program with the basic levels of intermediate and institutional cooking, and job readiness skills.

Cascade Culinary Arts School is operated by The Salvation Army at their facility, Cascade Community Church. The church is a popular setting for beautiful weddings. It is also an attractive place for the Abbotsford community to hold meetings and seminars. Reasonable prices, service-oriented staff, and excellent food are all reasons that bookings are made far in advance. Our students benefit from this because they gain valuable experience. Employers benefit because well-trained employees with real-life skills are available when they need them.

In October of 2003, our Culinary Arts School was granted accreditation from PCTIA, The Private Career Training Institutions Agency. As well as certifying the high level of credibility of the school, this designation allows students to potentially receive government student loans or apply for funding through Human Resources Canada. Accreditation also means that, upon completion of this officially recognized training program, graduates will have the opportunity to qualify to move into Professional Cook 2 training.

In October of 2003, we were awarded a provincial contract to provide Professional Cook 1 and 2 training. This is offered one day a week over a twenty-week period, and it has the advantage of allowing cooks in the Fraser Valley to take their training locally so they can continue their employment while they develop their skill base. For more information, you can call our office at 604-556-7000.

We are proud that over 90% of our graduating students successfully find employment in the food service industry.
