Flavour Network, a Corus Entertainment Inc. property, together with Food Banks Canada announced today a new, nationwide campaign serving to raise one million meals* for people in Canada facing food insecurity. The campaign is powered by Flavour Network’s reach across Canada and amplified by Corus’ extensive megaphone of assets across TV, radio, and social with the support of the campaign’s official restaurant partner, Swiss Chalet®. As food insecurity reaches record levels in Canada, food banks are seeing nearly 2.2 million visits each month, including 700,000 visits from children. In response to this growing need, Food Banks Canada continues to deliver critical support nationwide, distributing 324 million pounds of food valued at $1 billion and investing $275 million in communities across the country.
“At Corus, we have the privilege of connecting with millions of Canadians every day through the stories and content they care about,” said Jennifer Abrams, SVP Content & Marketing, Corus Entertainment Inc. ”With the power of Flavour Network’s platform, we are proud to leverage our connection to Canadians in support of Food Banks Canada, helping shine a light on the growing issue of food insecurity and encouraging Canadians to make a difference while reinforcing the power of communities coming together for those in need.”
The partnership sees Corus leverage promotional inventory value across assets to drive awareness and generate donations. The campaign features custom promotional assets, including a TV spot featuring Flavour Network stars Eden Grinshpan (Top Chef Canada, Top Chef Canada: The Dessert Table) and Mark McEwan (Top Chef Canada), Colin Asuncion (Halloween Bakeshop, Holiday Bakeshop), The Morning Show’s Carolyn MacKenzie and Jeff McArthur, Q107’s Fred Kennedy, and Global News’ Anthony Farnell alongside Storm the Weather Dog.
“As food bank visits reach historical levels across the country, meeting the growing need requires all of us to come together,” said Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. “We are so grateful to Flavour Network and its participating partners for helping raise awareness and inspire action from so many. We are equally thankful to the people across Canada who choose to donate. Whether it pays for food, refrigeration, transportation or other costs, every dollar contributes to a collective effort that helps food banks provide vital support to people facing food insecurity.”
Further fueling the campaign is official restaurant partner Swiss Chalet®, collecting non-perishable food donations at 176 locations across the country. Each restaurant is matched with a local charity partner, to ensure the Guest and Teammates are giving back to their own community. The partnership extends beyond in-restaurant donation boxes, with more than two million specially-designed Festive Special® takeout boxes raising awareness for the Festive Meals, Full Hearts campaign throughout the holiday season.
“For over 40 years the Festive Special® has marked the start of the Canadian holiday season” said Beatrice Robertson, Vice President Marketing at Swiss Chalet. “At Swiss Chalet, our purpose is to set the table for Canadian families to create memories that last a lifetime. Our local Franchisees and Teammates are proud to partner with Flavour Network and Food Banks Canada to help give back and share the warmth of a meal together.”
Festive Meals, Full Hearts runs now through December 31, 2026. For every $1 donated, Food Banks Canada can provide two meals to those in need. Donations can be made online by visiting flavournetwork.ca.
*Based on Food Banks Canada’s meal metric, $1 = 2 meals.

Amidst the turmoil of the Thirty Years´ War, somewhere in Germany, a mysterious soldier appears in a secluded Protestant village.

With time, he overcomes their doubts and shows himself to be a hard-working, God-fearing man, becoming part of the community in a quest for acceptance made up of impossible deceit. The true and twisted tale of a deceiver of land and folk, who, defying her birth as a woman, comported herself as a man and committed many a wicked deed.

The best Thanksgiving tradition might be skipping cooking altogether. This year, trade the turkey timer and mountain of dishes for a table worth dressing up for. From dinner 38 storeys above Toronto to an intimate evening tucked inside a Little Italy landmark, Don Alfonso 1890 and DaNico give Torontonians two great reasons to reserve a table at one of these Michelin-starred destinations.
At Don Alfonso 1890, come for the view and stay for what arrives at the table. Set above the Westin Harbour Castle, the restaurant pairs sweeping views of Toronto and Lake Ontario with the southern Italian cuisine of executive chef Davide Ciavattella. As the skyline lights up, Thanksgiving dinner feels a long way from the usual turkey and mashed potatoes.
At DaNico, inside a restored heritage building in Little Italy, the restaurant pairs old-world character with chef Daniele Corona’s contemporary take on Italian cuisine. Drawing from his Italian roots and incorporating Asian influences and techniques, Corona delivers an experience to remember over the classic Thanksgiving spread.
Reserve now at Don Alfonso 1890 here.
