The Canadian Association for Food Studies (CAFS) held its 2025 Congress at George Brown College (this deserves to be a topic of another entry) as part of the Congress of the Federation Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS). The Congress is the largest academic gathering in Canada. FHSS was formed in 1996 through a merger of the Social Science Federation of Canada and the Canadian Federation for the Humanities. It represents over 85,000 researchers in 81 scholarly associations, 80 universities and colleges, and 6 affiliates across Canada.
