Teachers and education support staff can get a
free medium McCafé® Premium Roast coffee or tea on World
Teachers' Day
TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - On October 5, McDonald's Canada will recognize teachers and education
support staff across the country to celebrate World Teachers' Day
by giving them a free medium McCafé® Premium Roast coffee or tea at
participating restaurants.* The nationwide initiative forms part of
McDonald's ongoing commitment to its communities by acknowledging
that teachers and education support staff have worked tirelessly to
create a welcoming environment for students during the COVID-19
pandemic.
"During the pandemic, public appreciation for teachers and
education support staff has never been greater and during
extraordinary times like this, we know a little appreciation can go
a really long way," says Catherine
Crozier, Head of McCafé Strategy, Marketing and Brand
Innovation. "The offer for a free McCafé coffee or tea for teachers
on World Teachers' Day is a small expression of our immense
gratitude for our education community across the country working
tirelessly to keep our kids learning during this very difficult
time."
SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES
Throughout COVID-19, together
with its franchisees and suppliers, McDonald's Canada has been finding ways to support its
communities. To date, this has included the donation of more than
325,000 pounds of food to local food banks and other charities, and
the supply of more than 2.7 million free coffees to frontline
healthcare and emergency service workers.
In May, McDonald's Canada
conducted #FriesforGood, a nationwide initiative and, with the help
of Canadians, donated a portion of the proceeds from all fries sold
to the Canadian Red Cross. In only two weeks, the initiative raised
over $1.1M.
As the pandemic continues, McDonald's is committed to serving
the delicious food that Canadians love, while finding new ways of
supporting the communities in which it operates. For more
