Happy Canada Day, everyone! Today we’re celebrating our country, our communities, and of course, pride in our team! Let’s also recognize the efforts of BC’s food workers, the thousands of hard working people whose daily efforts make great food, move it around our vast and beautiful province, keep shelves stocked, and do so much more to make our summer gatherings tasty and memorable. Enjoy the day!
