Finally! Three good news: a good cause, an openness and a special permission

It can sometimes take a long time to be able to write something positive since March. This time, we have three good news to share with you: Montreal restaurants are joining forces for a good cause, a new 100% vegan offer is emerging in Mascouche and the city of Thetford Mines is following in the footsteps of several other municipalities in giving special permission to restaurateurs.
First, four Montreal pizzerias joined forces and creativity to create a special pizza with an equally special purpose. The "Collective" pizza is the work of restaurants No.900, GEMA, Vesta and Morso. They will donate $ 3 per pizza sold to the Montreal Restaurant Workers Relief Fund.
Let's face it, the situation has not been rosy for these workers since the start of this crisis. This help is therefore timely. Everything is available until August 15 only.
Then, we learned of the opening of a new 100% vegan restaurant in Mascouche, a city located on the north crown of Montreal. The Maskwa has converted a century-old house in this city into a restaurant where it will be possible to enjoy their smoothies, their hot bowls and their very nutritious toasts for lunch or even sandwiches and meal bowl for lunch. Ideal for vegan Quebecers who are going to discover new regions this summer.
Finally, the city of Thetford Mines, in collaboration with Héritage Center-Ville and the merchants of the main street, decided to make use of enlarged terrace spaces in order to respect physical distancing. She added street furniture herself to ensure customer safety and avoid additional expenses for traders.
At the same time, downtown merchants have welcomed a few new players in recent weeks, despite difficult times.
