The Interceptors

2022 | 26 min

The Interceptors explores the story of a new community-driven, technology-enabled network with the goal of reducing food waste and nourishing the Vancouver community. The film follows first-generation Filipino-Canadian Chef TJ Conwi as he turns a mountain of surplus food collected by Vancouver Food Runners into delicious meals that are distributed to the food insecure.

Our Earth Day campaign is bullfrogpowered® with 100% green electricity.

This means that Bullfrog Power’s generators put 100% green electricity onto the grid to match the amount of conventional electricity the event uses, displacing energy from polluting sources. Across Canada, Bullfrog’s green electricity comes from a blend of wind, solar and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities.

As shown in The Interceptors, Chef TJ Conwi and his team at Ono Vancouver turn surplus food into thousands of meals per week for the community.

To date, the team has cooked over 300,000 meals for charity at no charge, and diverted over 10 tonnes of food from landfill.

ReRoot is a new brand with the same mission, developed by Chef TJ, Sean MacDonald and the Ono team. By turning a small portion of the surplus food into a product line, they hope to bring in enough revenue to keep feeding the community for years to come.
