🛑STOP! Put the chicken back in the freezer, and eat out tonight.

It's the easiest, most chill and delicious fundraiser: no speeches, no rubber chicken, and come dressed as you are!

Just simply:
1. Book a table for tonight: use the resy button at https://towncitizen.ca/ or call 613-422-6505.

2. Show up. Order the yumminess. Eat the yumminess. Pay. Leave.

3. The restaurant will donate 25% of your bill (food *and* booze) to A Taste For Life, in support of Bruce House.

Marc and Lori and their incredible staff have been such wonderful longtime supporters of A Taste For Life every year. There are currently seats for both town. on Elgin and its sister spot on Gilmour, Citizen. Snag a seat at either restaurant (tip: book the chef's table! a.k.a. "TOWN HIGH TABLE") - enjoy some incredible eats - and at the same time: do some good in your neighbourhood!

So I'm asking you to book a table for this Wednesday at https://towncitizen.ca/ in support of A Taste For Life and the restaurants will donate 25% of your bill to Bruce House.

That's it: 1. Book a table. 2. Show up, eat, drink, and pay your bill!

And, thank you!🙏

It doesn't have to be white as the 2nd colour for this to work. We have two very similar paint colors on our main floor for this very reason... it looks like the lighting and shadows at play but it's by design the lighter and darker tones open up, and recess, the walls!
