While not much has changed on the pandemic front; Toronto is still in lockdown, winter has set in and we are looking at the two coldest months of the year to get through.

Following our protocol when feeling under the weather these days, three team members have tested positive for COVID-19.
The good news: The affected team members feel well.
The bad news: To err on the side of caution and, frankly, to give our team a rest, we’re going to take Saturday, December 12th off for a deep clean. You can follow Butterfly Releases for more updates.
In the interest of full disclosure, we’d like to let you know the team members test report and work dates:
Per Toronto Public Health recommendations, anyone who spoke to the team members within 6 feet for 15 minutes has been notified, asked to isolate and get tested.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Closing on a Saturday during Hannukah🕎 wasn’t on our schedule. But, you know, pandemic 🦠.
Thanks for your patience, and see you on Sunday, in the aisles.
💚🐓.
