The Windsor-Essex County Regional Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) and CUPE Local 543 to provide a $154,000 program to help local restaurants struggling with the pandemic closure. We all know that because of the pandemic and because of the long term condition, this particular sector has taken a huge hit, said chamber president Rakesh Naidu in a teleconferenced announcement Monday morning.
The program called DINE#YQG includes a website that lists local restaurants and has pictures featuring some of their meals and how to place an order.
WINDSOR, ONT. A new initiative is offering cash prizes of $11,000 to customers and food service businesses in Windsor and Essex County. The local support program, called ‘#DineYQG’, was launched on Monday by the Windsor-Essex Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) and presenting sponsor CUPE 543. “#DineYQG will support locally owned restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, take and bakes, wineries, breweries and distillers at a time when their businesses have been severely impacted by COVID-19,” said a news release from the chamber. Most local restaurants remain open for take-out, delivery or curbside orders, but no in-person dining is currently allowed under provincial lockdown guidelines.
