JP Adamo '99
Excerpt from Fall 2017 issue of The Link:
Graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, internationally experienced executive chef and owner of the Hockley Valley Resort and the Adamo Estate Winery, John-Paul (JP) Adamo ’99 has spent most of his life in the food and hospitality business. When did he know it was the right direction for him?
“I think it was Grade 2,” he laughs. “I was in Mrs. Sutherland’s after-school cooking club. My parents were in catering and had recently purchased a run-down resort property with the dream of offering a luxury experience. They knew how much passion and hard work were required to succeed in that industry, so they tried to persuade me to choose another life. But Mrs. Sutherland set me on my path!”

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
