The Philippine Department of Tourism and Philippine Consulate General in
Calgary announced
Canada's First-Ever Filipino Restaurant Month.
The project is jointly executed by the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa and the
Philippine Consulates General (PCG) in Toronto and Vancouver. The event aims to bring Filipino cuisine to the mainstream Canadian
market, inspire Canadians to explore Filipino food, and develop a better
appreciation of our culture. The event also wants to promote Filipino
restaurants in various provinces across Canada and encourage dining at
local restaurants.
