School Snacks & Labour Day BBQ
Going Back to School: What To Snack On
Students all across Ontario will be heading back to school in the upcoming weeks ahead.
The government’s plan to reopen schools was approved by public health officials. This is a good thing according to pediatric specialists, who say that while the virus is dangerous, not going to school is dangerous, too – for education purposes as well as for children’s mental health.
Here is a great piece of advice from UNICEF:
“UNICEF is urging schools – whether open or helping students through remote learning – to provide students with holistic support. Schools should provide children with vital information on handwashing and other measures to protect themselves and their families; facilitate mental health support; and help to prevent stigma and discrimination by encouraging students to be kind to each other and avoid stereotypes when talking about the virus.”

Labour Day Weekend: BBQ Season Ending Soon
As the autumn season quickly approaches, we are in the last couple of weeks of prime BBQ season. Enjoy the last few days of summer with some of our scrumptious meats, that will spice up (pardon the pun!) any get together with your family & friends.
We carry:

Spur Salad Dressing, lovingly known as Pink Sauce, deliciously creamy and tangy, this much-loved condiment is now available to take home in a squeeze bottle.
Nando’s Peri Peri Sauce, enjoyable with almost everything. Nando’s range of Peri-Peri sauces combine flavour with varying degrees of heat that will satisfy the Peri-Peri beginner to the fiery heat seeker.
