Celebrate Bacon Lovers Day on August 20!
Few foods have as many devoted fans as bacon. Every year on August 20, Bacon Lovers Day gives us the perfect excuse to enjoy this savoury favourite and gather with family and friends around the table.
Whether you like your bacon crispy or chewy, served with eggs for breakfast, layered on a sandwich at lunch, or crumbled over a fresh salad for dinner, bacon has earned its place as a comfort food enjoyed around the world. Its rich flavour can turn an ordinary meal into something special.
Bacon Lovers Day is also a great opportunity to try something new in the kitchen. Add bacon to roasted vegetables, wrap it around asparagus, sprinkle it over baked potatoes, or use it to top homemade pizza. If you’re hosting a summer barbecue, bacon-wrapped appetizers are always a crowd-pleaser. No matter how you enjoy it, bacon brings people together over good food and good conversation.
Sharing meals with family creates more than just full stomachs—it creates memories. From teaching children how to cook to enjoying dinner around the table, these everyday moments help build confidence, strengthen relationships, and encourage conversations about hopes and dreams for the future.
Speaking of the future, one of the best ways to support a child’s dreams is by planning ahead for their education.
Give Your Child Something to Look Forward To
The Canada Learning Bond (CLB) is a Government of Canada program that helps eligible children save for post-secondary education. Eligible children can receive up to $2,000 in an Education Savings Plan (RESP), and you do not have to contribute any of your own money to receive the Canada Learning Bond.
Whether your child wants to attend college, university, complete an apprenticeship, or pursue another type of training, the Canada Learning Bond can help make those opportunities more affordable.
Every year, thousands of eligible families miss out simply because they don’t know the program exists or think they need to save their own money first. The good news is that opening an RESP and applying for the Canada Learning Bond is easier than many people realize.

As you celebrate Bacon Lovers Day with family and friends, take a few minutes to invest in your child’s future.
