February 1st - 29th
Burger It Forward is a national celebration of Canadian beef burgers with community heart!
The goals of Burger It Forward:
Canada Beef is a not-for-profit organization that represents the 60,000 beef farming and ranching families across the country, providing promotion, information and advocacy for beef that's raised right here — Canadian beef.
Canada Beef is proud to lead the Burger It Forward campaign to help relieve food insecurity through food bank contributions.
For every campaign featured burger purchased, Canada Beef will donate the equivalent of 1 meal to Food Banks Canada.*
*up to a maximum of 20,000 meals (based on Food Banks Canada's meal metric: $1 = 2 meals).
The Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association works to develop and promote the your local beef. Their mandate is to provide a united voice for beef farmers and ranchers across all regions of the province.
Saskatchewan beef farmers and ranchers are helping to 'beef up' regional food banks by donating $500 worth of ground beef to both Regina Food Bank, and Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre.
The Regina Food Bank is a charitable community-based organization working to fight food insecurity through nutritious food distribution, education, and support programs.
The Regina Food Bank restores dignity, health and hope for our clients. They also build community - rallying the community to make Regina a more fair, caring, and dynamic city.

Recognizing the challenges local restaurants have faced over the past 2 years, participation in Burger It Forward is offered to restaurants with no registration fees.
Restaurants are encouraged to give back what they can to their local food banks as part of their contribution to the program. All Burger It Forward profiled burgers feature Canadian beef in support of local cattle farmers and ranchers.
