Sometimes it’s the little things, like sitting across the table from a good friend or sharing a meal with a family member you’ve been missing.
Meals have always, and will continue to bring us together; not just for good food, but good company; so we believe it’s due time that we celebrate the fact that we’re allowed to come together again.
We’ve partnered with BC Dairy to not only shine a spotlight on local businesses that have persevered through a global pandemic, but also to highlight the importance of spending time sitting down eating meals with loved ones.
And in celebration of that, we’re giving away a whopping total of $2000 gift cards to local eateries – $500 to each one! – and you’ll find those contest details below.
Check out these four local businesses (and their delicious fares!) and enjoy getting back to meals with friends and family – safely, of course:
