"Together with our Canadian Days Inn owners and their teams, we're proud to support Food Banks Canada's After the Bell program to help make healthy food available to children during the summer months." The After the Bell program was created specifically to address the summer hunger gap, delivering food packs to children across Canada through a network of food banks and community agencies. Days Inns - Canada team members participated in the program's volunteer packing day on May 14, 2025, helping prepare food packs for distribution. "We are grateful for the support of Days Inns - Canada as we work to address childhood hunger in communities across the country," said Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer of Food Banks Canada. "The After the Bell program makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children facing food insecurity during summer months.
