Canadian Consul General launches special ‘Canada food weeks’ in Dubai

Dubai: Canadian Consul General in Dubai Jean Philippe Linteau on Friday launched the ‘Canada Food’ themed weeks at some major supermarkets. “Canada has great food, and we are happy to satisfy the UAE’s appetite! Today at the Umm Suqeim location of Spinneys in Dubai,” said Linteau at the event on Friday. Tom Harvey, General Manager Commercial at Spinneys, was also present. The Canadian food promotion will be held online and in 10 Spinneys and Waitrose locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi until March 24. He invited consumers to come by and sample Canadian made food produce at the selected stores. Consul General Linteau added: “From beef to seafood, pulses to wild rice, berries to maple syrup, Canada’s vast and varied land nurtures a diverse range of high-quality food ingredients.
