Big crowds, lots of smiles, at McHappy Day in the Kootenays

Kate Brown
By Kate Brown

There was no shortage of hungry patrons and happy customers at the Castlegar, Cranbrook, Grand Forks and Trail McDonalds today, Thursday.

May 8 is McHappy Day across Canada, and guests in the Kootenays stopped in to show support by purchasing food, special socks or hearts, or rounding up their order.

“Today’s weather couldn’t have been better for McHappy Day,” said Castlegar McDonalds spokesperson.

“Ten per cent of all our sales are donated, and people came out to show their support, and it is so greatly appreciated. Everyone is so generous with their time and with their money.”

 

Mike Johnstone and Sam Pike in Trail.

Proceeds across the nation go to Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provide support and resources to families so they can focus on caring for their seriously ill child, as well as local proceeds going to Kootenay Emergency Response Physicians Association (KERPA).

Castlegar’s finest fire fighters alongside our Vista Team, Storrm and Trent.
