Time to order some delivery or takeout.📲🍔🥡🍜
With new public health restrictions limiting restaurants and cafes to delivery and pickup only, many will need your orders to help them get through the third wave. Make sure to check for deals and discounts when you order directly from the restaurant or pick up the food yourself. That just means more money for you to add a dessert.🍰🍩🍨
You can also get lots of extras from restaurants, including dips, dressings and sauces from their menu, or a bag of coffee beans with your next breakfast order.
And don't forget drinks!🍺🍷🍸 You can throw in a beer or cocktail with your order - bonus points if you order a beverage from an Edmonton brewery or distillery!

Time to do that #SupportLocal thing again, Edmonto

Time to do that #SupportLocal thing again, Edmonton.🙌
New Covid-19 health restrictions change how you can shop, eat, and support your favourite local businesses. This third wave setback may be the hardest one for businesses to overcome, so we hope you’ll join us in doing everything we can to make sure everybody gets to re-open their doors this summer.
Swipe through to see some of the ways you can help➡➡
Restaurants - Order delivery, curbside pickup or grab some takeout. Don’t forget to add some drinks to your order. Many places also sell the same sauces, dips and dressings on their menus, or you can pick up a bag of coffee beans with your next morning order.
Retail - Most shops and stores remain open but are limited to 10% customer capacity. If you feel comfortable shopping in your mask, please stop by. 😷🛍️ You can also shop from home, with more stores now offering curbside pickup or delivery.
Fitness - Check your gym’s website or social media channels for online and home workouts and personalized exercise plans. Check out their clothing and swag shops too.
Personal and wellness services - Since these businesses will be closed completely, any support you can offer is very helpful. If they sell items, like shampoo or hair product, order some for pickup or delivery. If they’re offering future bookings or a waitlist, get your name on there.
Health and Professional services - You can still book a massage, dental visit, or meet in most offices.
This Stuff Helps Everyone
Gift cards – Buying a gift card helps everyone. The business gets some cash immediately and you get yourself a fun treat or needed service later.
Like, Review, Share - Engage with your favourite businesses, tag in your friends, and leave reviews when you love a product or had a great experience. These actions boost their profiles and help new customers find them!

Whatever brings you to #WhyteAve, please remember to call ahead or check websites and social media for business hours or other changes. Even if a business is not required to be closed to the public, you may find they have voluntarily chosen to do so for public health. We can get through this, Edmonton.🤗

We're not out of this yet, Edmonton.😷
For the third time in the last year, we've got to temporarily close the doors at a number of businesses to keep people safe. We hope you'll join us in doing everything we can to make sure all of these businesses re-open their doors soon, and make this summer one that's much better to remember.
Hit the link in our bio for a list of ways you can support your favourite businesses through new public health restrictions.👉🔗
By Monday, restaurants will be takeout and delivery only, personal services like salons and tattoos will be closed and so will gyms, shops and stores will be limited to just 10% customer capacity and all health and professional services are appointment-only.
Ordering online will be our best friend for the month of May. And stock up on gift cards for when you can return to #WhyteAve in the summer sun!

If you need a reason to order lunch, #TakeoutDay i

If you need a reason to order lunch, #TakeoutDay is here. 🥡🍕🍔 Let's help set a #CanadaTakeoutRecord by ordering from all our favourite restaurants today! You can also follow @CanadaTakeout to watch their record tracker all day (and share your orders with them!). With new Covid restrictions in Alberta closing indoor dining, putting in an order for pickup or delivery is much-needed for restaurants.🙏
And, hey, we like the idea of setting a record so much that, if you tag us on a post with your order today we're going to throw your name into a draw for a $25 gift card to your choice of #OldStrathcona restaurant.
Let's go, Edmonton! Let's help set a record and let's help our restaurants.

Patio season is early this year.😎 With new public health restrictions putting a pause on eating inside restaurants, this week’s weather warm up is perfect timing for some outdoor dining. You can still eat and drink on patios and other outdoor dining set-ups that are popping up around #OldStrathcona. Swipe through to see just a few that are all ready to go.⬅
As you can already see, all your favourites are returning, along with new and expanded patio experiences, and we’ve even got additional café seating out in the sun. More will be coming soon!
❗Remember, you can only dine on restaurant patios with your household cohort, up to a maximum of six people. If you live alone, you can still sit with the two other adults you have designated as your cohort. No group events or table-hopping at this time. You also have to wear a mask when you enter a restaurant, leave, or if you’re walking to the washroom. And please be nice to all the staff members, they’re doing everything they can to make this a safe experience.😷✌
If you don’t feel comfortable eating on a patio at this time, you can still do a lot to help our restaurants. Put in an order for dinner or stop by for some takeout. The best way to make sure all your favourite restaurants stay right where they are is to keep supporting them now.

New public health restrictions but we can do this, Edmonton! 😷🙌
With cases of COVID-19 rising, it's time to come together just like we did one year ago and support each other to get through the end of this pandemic. Check the link in our bio for an updated list of ways you can support your favourite restaurants, stores and services here in Old Strathcona. It's as important as it's ever been to grab some take-out, shop by curbside pickup and wear your mask.
Personal and professional businesses remain open by appointment, and you can still go to the gym for personal training too. Patio and outdoor dining is also allowed, but only with your household or the same two people you've been visiting with if you're single.
If you're going to visit Old Strathcona, check business websites and social media before you leave in case of changes to hours of operation, ordering and buying options and any additional health rules expected of customers, and call ahead to book any appointments.
Most important of all, let's all remember to be kind to one another.✌️
