I spend too much time in mcDonalds. Is it the electricity, or the free WiFi? Someone suggested it might be the food. They have food?
They have an annual McHappy Day, when one dollar from the sale of every Big Mac, Happy Meal and Hot McCafé Beverage goes towards Ronald McDonald Houses, and other local charities. This year, in McDonalds restaurants across Canada, that day was May 8 -- yesterday.
While I was having breakfast at the Broadway and Granville location, owner John Marsh showed up. He's an apple-cheeked, always-smiling, go-getter. A former McDonalds employee, who now owns six McDonalds franchises, all in a large, contiguous area, stretching across three Vancouver neighbourhoods: University of British Columbia; Kitsilano, and Fairview. Yesterday, his six restaurants raised between $18- and $19-thousand dollars.
This year the Canada-wide fund-raising focus was to raise $26.75 million towards building a new Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver. The current House on Angus Drive in Shaughnessy serves as a home away from home for children who require treatment at BC Children's Hospital.
