Public Classes + Events
2023 UPDATE
In 2022, after many twists and turns and ups and downs of the pandemic we moved our cooking class operations to our neighbor Drift Vista Lounge in order to buddy up on space to continue offering our cooking classes. Although it’s never easy to physically uproot your entire business, we had settled in and hosted a lot of great events and classes in the beautiful facility. As you may have heard, @driftsaskatoon announced their closure after many years of serving good food and chill vibes. We understand this decision and wish the team all the best in future endeavours. Unfortunately, this means January will be our last month of hosting public classes and private events.
Many of you have noticed that gift cards haven’t been available on our website for the past few months. We paused the sale of these due to the 2023 uncertainties. For those of you with gift cards balances that pre-date we will continue to honour those for our catalogue of On-Demand virtual classes as well as towards TLK at Home private bookings.
We will be taking the next several months to reflect on the future of our business so if you’d like to stay in the loop of any other updates such as potential kids camps or pop up offerings please stay connected via social media or sign up for our mailing list.
We can never thank you all enough for your support and enthusiasm over the years.
