Think Turkey conducts Join Thanksgiving promotion
By Rob Bale
Think Turkey has begun a promotional initiative called “Join Thanksgiving.” The effort is aimed at post-secondary students who will be living away from their families during Thanksgiving. Until Sept. 23, student groups and faculty members can visit <http://www.thinkturkey.ca/jointhanksgiving> to apply for one of eight grants of $2,500 to fund an on-campus Thanksgiving event. Think Turkey is a joint program of Turkey Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors.
“Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays because it's just a big turkey dinner, where everyone is welcome to pull up a chair,” said Darren Ference, chair of Turkey Farmers of Canada. “Through the ‘Join Thanksgiving’ fund, we hope Thanksgiving can become a moment to bring more students together and spark new friendships over a delicious meal.”
