the idea
I'm Morgan, the human behind the scenes at the three. I’m often known for untamed hair, a love for desserts and busting out the dance moves when the time is right - but maybe this is more of what you’re looking for:
​
I graduated with Honours as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist from Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in June of 2018. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree while playing Division I hockey at RIT where I experienced some of my highest highs and lowest lows that largely shape my perspectives today.
The vision of the three came from a love for seeing people connect at coffee shops and breakfast joints back in university, and was further defined at CSNN as I was uncovering components of food as it relates to the food industry, sustainability and every component of an individual’s health and well-being.
What I once thought to be a cool retirement gig, was on my mind every single day, so I decided to stop talking about it and actually go for it.
On that note, welcome to the three.
the vision
The goal is this:
-
to build a business that is focused on individual well-being, the local community and global sustainability
-
an eatery that serves real, whole foods and embraces a culture around education, enjoyment and nourishment instead of calories and diets
-
to connect you to the people who grow your food and the people you eat it with
-
to contribute to social impact and positive change, both locally and globally
the name
It was some time back in university when I decided I wanted to own a breakfast joint one day, and when I did, it would be called "The Three." It was my favourite number growing up after a female on-ice instructor took me under her wing at a summer hockey camp, to which I was the only one with a pony tail sticking out of their helmet. I don't remember her name, but I appreciated her a lot that weekend, enough to change my jersey number to 3 any chance I had.
It also represents mind, body, spirit - the three components to an individual's well-being, and it's my hope that you feel welcomed and nourished in each of those ways when you enter the three. Click to read more about the meaning behind the name.
