Pirate Pak Day at @White_Spot is this Aug 18th

The first time I asked a Canadian friend of mine to take me to an “utterly Canadian family restaurant” (this was more than a decade ago, as I was starting my MBA coursework), she brought me to White Spot. And for some of my good friends from my offline life , it’s become a good spot to meet. Plus, there’s always a location that is near to me (in this case, the Broadway and 13th Avenue one). I recently found out that on August 18, White Spot is celebrating the legendary Pirate Pak meal during its third annual Pirate Pak Day and for the first time ever, guests of any age will have the opportunity to be a kid for a day and order a special edition ‘Adult Pak.’ I am giving away a $25 gift certificate to come down to your nearest White Spot on Pirate Pak Day and enjoy one of their tasty meals.

If you are a parent, please note so in your comment on this post and I’ll track down two coupons for Kids Paks to treat the little ones in your life.

The one thing that completely sold me on Pirate Pak Day was that White Spot is raising money to send kids with serious medical conditions to Zajac Ranch for Children for summer camp experience. On August 18, $2 from the sale of each Pirate Pak will help fund White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch. So, it’s a worthy cause to support and an excuse to have a tasty meal and be a kid for a day.

To enter this giveaway, simply send me a tweet as follows (that way, we avoid cluttering everyone’s Twitter stream):

@hummingbird604 I want to win the GC giveaway in support of @ZajacRanch through @White_Spot’s Pirate Pak Day on Aug 18th

If you are NOT on Twitter (which may be the case), you can just simply drop a comment on this post. Since Pirate Pak Day is on Wednesday, and I need to pick up a winner soon, you have until 11:59pm of Monday August 16th to enter the contest. The gift card will be waiting for you at the front desk of The Network Hub (422 Richards Street) on the first floor, between the hours of 9:00am through 5:00pm on Tuesday August 17th. If I am in the office, I will personally hand the card to you.

Hopefully regardless of whether you win or not the gift card, some of my readers will be able to visit their nearest White Spot for a Pirate Pak Day, it is definitely in support of a very worthy cause!
