Burgers of the Month for February raise thousands

Mar 9, 2021 | 9:11 AM

Cilantro and Chive doled out not one, but two cheques to charities for February’s burgers of the month.

For every burger sold, $2 went to the guest chef’s organization of choice.

For Lacombe City Councillor Cora Hoekstra, who helped create ‘The Spicey Yorkshire’ for the Lacombe location, $1,062 went to the Lacombe and District Historical Society.

“We need the Society to keep drawing our attention to the value of our buildings and ancestors, and to appreciate how far we have come,” says Hoekstra. “I wanted to support an organization that is not always noticed.”

2021 marks the 50th anniversary for the Lacombe and District Historical Society. While many events and activities have been cancelled due to the pandemic, the cociety is currently working to preserve their extensive photography and negative collections.
