From Lufa Farms:
This Saturday, May 14, join us in our Ahuntsic greenhouse for a hot sauce workshop! Led by chef, culinary stylist, and fermentation expert Blake Mackay, you’ll make your own hot sauce using our very own fresh rooftop-grown peppers. You can adapt it to the spice level that works for you and leave with what you make. Run, don’t walk - there are only a few spots left. And if it’s too late, there’s always our monthly (hot) yoga in the greenhouse or our most recent addition, a STEM workshop!
Book your spot here: Community activities (lufa.com)

Mystic Music from Pakistan:
Kabir Centre, in collaboration with Festival Accès Asie, are pleased to present Mystic Music from Pakistan in Soulful Qawwali with Abdullah Manzoor Niazi & Waqar Niazi Ensemble. Qawwali is a musical genre, popular in India and Pakistan, which expresses Sufi devotion. The word literally means “speech music” and originally comes from the Arabic qawwâl, a word meaning, “loquacious, who speaks well, who knows how to speak well”.
