Peter Sanagan
Peter Sanagan is not your usual butcher. A chef by training, he has lead the kitchens of some of Toronto’s top restaurants like Auberge du Pommier and Mistura for 15 years. Peter is as aware of the image and profile of his business as the quality of the products he offers. After all a butcher shop with 3000+ twitter followers is an indication of something different going on.
After his years of cooking in the city, equipped with enthusiasm and curiosity of his culinary explorations in Hong Kong in his younger years, Peter went north to Grey County and found himself fortunate to be cooking with exceptional local produce and meat. “I realized here that Toronto needed to discover the remarkable quality and variety of food produced by the small farmers who rarely have the means to get their goods into big city shops” he says.
Everything fell into place when he stumbled upon a the For Sale sign of Max and Son butcher shop, a 50 year old store in Kensington Market. A week later Sanagan’s Meat Locker picked up where Solly Stern has left off and the rest is lamb chop history.

At 24, Zahra was invited to teach at the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in the Think Tank program, getting the next generation of designers asking complex questions of themselves and the world around them. Zahra spent two years serving as Innovator in Residence at Canada’s National Design Museum, the Design Exchange. In recent years she has become increasingly committed to exploring the space where design, creativity, and play engage with systems change, sparking initiatives that create conversation and activate innovation.
Her work has been featured in Luminato, Come Up To My Room, Nuit Blanche, Toronto Design Offsite, TEDxTalks, as well as on CBC, The Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star.
