Planning meals every week gets tiring, and eating the same thing all the time is not much better. So we thought: Why not share the meals we actually love to make?
How does it work?
We are collecting favourite recipes from our community to create a shared resource that everyone can enjoy. Whether it is a time-honored family classic, a creative twist on a weeknight dinner, or a holiday must-have, we want your best recipes!
Our Community Recipe Swap is now available in all our 11 branches! You can find a Recipe Swap Binder at your branch for in-library use! To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away $25 President’s Choice Gift Cards to two lucky participants. Learn more: Facebook Post.
Submit Your Recipe
Contributing is easy! Just fill out this Google Form: Community Recipe Swap Submissions to share your dish or a paper form in person at your local library. You can submit as many as you like.
Find Recipes at Your Library
Once collected, recipes will be printed and added to special Recipe Swap Binders available at library branches from February 1st, 2026. Stop by anytime to flip through the collection, take pictures of recipes that catch your eye, or find inspiration for your next meal.
These binders will grow as more recipes are submitted, so check back often to discover new favourites!
Ongoing Project – No Deadline Yet!
We will be accepting recipes and updating the binders continuously, so feel free to submit whenever inspiration strikes.
