Canada #TakeoutDay is kicking off April 15 and will continue every Wednesday until restaurants are able to welcome us back.
Canadians are encouraged to order takeout from their favorite local restaurant to show them support.
Canada’s Great Kitchen Party – Home Edition will host an epic variety show on Facebook live at 8 pm EST on Wednesday, April 15th in partnership with Canada Takeout.
It will feature musical entertainment from Canada’s top talent and celebrated athletes. Headliners will include Jim Cuddy, Alan Doyle, Ed Robertson, Barney Bentall and Tom Cochrane.
Restaurants Canada estimates that 800,000 foodservice jobs have already been lost nationwide due to COVID-19.
Nearly 1 in 10 restaurants have already closed permanently and many more might close by the end of April if conditions don’t improve.
Food service sales are expected to be down nearly $20 billion for the second quarter of 2020.
In Vancouver, Papi’s Oyster Bar has all your fish and chips and burger needs as well as a dedicated pick-up window. Check out their Fish n’ Chips + beer combo featuring local rockfish, tartar sauce, slaw (pictured above).
