 CBCE supports SAIT Cut & Cook competition On February 28, 2026, the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence (CBCE) team joined the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) for an open house showcasing its Culinary Arts and Butchery program. The event featured a hands-on competition that gave prospective students a closer look at the hospitality and meat-cutting trades in action. It also highlighted the CBCE’s ongoing commitment to skills development in professional cooking and retail meat cutting. Five two-person teams competed, each pairing a SAIT Culinary Arts student with a student from the Butchery and Charcuterie Management Program. For the meat-cutting portion of the competition, the teams were tasked with producing a list of merchandised portion-cut products from four sub-primal products. Teams were then required to merchandise thin-sliced rouladen from the inside round and prepare this classic dish.  Judging was led by Canada Beef's CBCE team — Executive Director Mathieu Paré and Studio Director Cameron Pappel, Director — alongside former Retail Meat Cutting Instructor and Saskatchewan Polytechnic Chef Don Cyr. Culinary Arts and Butchery students showcased their skills from cut to plate. Congratulations to this year’s winners, Tristan Skaar and Patrick Creery. The CBCE participates in educational events with students to build interest around opportunities in the culinary and butchery trades. These events also provide the opportunity to partner with SAIT and promote Canadian beef via social media to encourage engagement and interest in SAIT and Canada Beef programs, services, and resources.
