I visited today. A lot of food places I used to like are not participating.
Out of the places I’ve visited before, I stopped at Les Canardises. They were sold out of canned Cassoulet. I purchased their terrine and rillettes. https://www.lescanardises.com/
I purchased some nice jelly gift boxes from Tangled Garden from NS.https://www.tangledgarden.ca/
