canning makes it to the music scene...

See them in concert! And eat the fruits of Sunparlour Players labour! How canning got even more delicious...

As the Sunparlour Players kick off a coast-to-coast Canadian tour next week in support of their recent release Wave North (Outside Music), the band is pleased to announce a unique new partnership with Bernardin, Canada's trusted leader in home canning products.

For Andrew Penner, the partnership made sense. The lead singer of Sunparlour Players grew up on a farm in the area of Leamington, outside of Windsor, Ontario, in one of Canada's most favourable growing climates. "With the resurgence of eating local and thinking about where your food is coming from, home canning is one of those things that is really becoming popular again. We've been doing this for a while, selling some of our favourite preserves at our shows when we tour."

"We also love how Bernardin works in the community" continues Andrew Penner. Bernardin supports community coops through education and sponsorship and they also maintain a partnership with Foodshare Toronto, an organization who subsidizes fresh produce, student nutrition programs, community gardening, cooking classes and food workshops.
