National Pancake Day in Canada

For the past 4 years, Canada has joined in the brand’s National Pancake Day, offering guests a free short stack of pancakes and asking them to make a donation to Canada’s Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, with the money raised in each community going to that area’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. It’s part of our commitment to serving our guests AND serving our communities.
