Canadians Encouraged To Order Takeout

COVID-19 has had a major impact on the food service industry.
 
That's why every Wednesday has been declared Canada Takeout Day.
 
David Wiens is vice-president of Dairy Farmers of Canada.
 
"We really encourage people to go out, support their local restaurants because there are still many that are open for takeout...So that they will be there for us after this pandemic runs it course and is over," he said. "It's just one way of working together with those that we've worked together with for many years."
 
Wiens encourages Canadians to order take-out all week long, not just Wednesdays.
