Restaurant Initiatives
On behalf of the Canadian Restaurant Industry, we are asking the Government for:
1. Immediate relief 2. Immediate Protection 3. Help to Reopen and Rehire
Join the movement. If you own a restaurant or work in a restaurant in any capacity, if you or anyone you know have been impacted by restaurant closures, we urge you to share your story and make your voice heard. Tag us #OneTable. Stronger together.
Join us for Canada Takeout Day Every Wednesday. We’re encouraging Canadians across the country to order takeout en-masse in a show of support for their favourite local restaurants. Use the hashtag #takeoutday
Great restaurants make great communities. Discover local businesses open to serve you during the Covid-19 crisis. Nation-wide.
