Mother's Day & Victoria Day Specials
May - A month for Mothers and Monarchs
Mum's the word for the month of May. Join us in celebrating the wonderful mothers in our lives, and Queen Victoria's birthday which affords us a much appreciated holiday as the weather warms up. Her reign—the longest in British history—saw the arrival of Darwin's theory of evolution, the telegraph and popular press, as well as expansion of railways across the British Empire, including Canada's Transcontinental Railway.
Here at Tall Grass, we show our respect as we pull delicious treats from our ovens. The following special items are available at both The Forks and Wolseley, except where noted.
- Traditional Imperial Cookie
With a Canadian twist - wild blueberry filling.
