One Night • One Community • One Delicious Way to Make a Difference
You are invited to the inaugural year of Appetite for Action, a one-day event when exceptional restaurants donate a portion of proceeds from their food & beverage sales to the Ecology Action Centre.
All you have to do is go out to dine on March 11! By enjoying a meal at one of our partnering restaurants, or a drink at a taproom, you’ll be supporting these local businesses and the EAC’s work. (So, make sure you invite your friends, colleagues and neighbours to join you too!)
Sign up below to get reminders about the event, and to be the first to hear Appetite for Action updates.
