It’s almost that time YYC! We hope that you’re hungry because Calgary’s city-wide, do-good festival, Poutine With Purpose starts this Friday, April 23rd.

Since announcing its return earlier this year, we’ve practically been on the edge of our seats waiting to hear which Calgary restaurants will be participating, but the wait is over! The folks behind this incredibly tasty event have just released its 2021 partners and trust us when we say, that you won’t know where to begin.

With 39 of Calgary’s favourite restos, you might not be able to get through all of them, but as a city, we’ll definitely be able to make an impact!

For those who might not be aware, not only will this be an incredibly delicious week, it’ll also be a rewarding one because for every poutine sold between the 23rd and May 1st, one YYC youth will actually receive a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner through Mealshare!
