A retailer’s generous donation is helping out several United Ways across western Canada in the ongoing battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. On Jan. 20, the United Way of Lethbridge & South Western Alberta in downtown Lethbridge became a PPE distribution spot thanks to a donation of 60,000 face masks, 1,800 bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of other PPE items to help community agencies protect residents against COVID-19.

Expect the same style of skewered meats cooked over wood that you found at the food hall, with the menu expanded in some ways and slimmed down in others. Proteins include chicken thighs, roast pork shoulder and grilled salmon, which you can match with two sides (including charred cauliflower, housemade potato chips, grilled polenta and blistered green beans) and a sauce: chimichurri, peri peri or aji verde.
