We have a variety of experiences and gift ideas to help you and yours eat, engage, and explore Alberta’s food scene! Curated food boxes, self-guided food tours, gift certificates that never expire and more.
Care for someone you know. Care for someone you don’t know. Our Alberta Cares Chocolate Package lets you do both.
Deliver comforting Alberta-made chocolate goodness to family, friends, team members and clients across Canada as we hunker down this winter. Deliver self-care in a box and do it with all your heart.
When your recipient opens their box they will find:
– A hand-written note with a message you’d like to share (our team puts your heart into this)
– Information about the two Alberta heart health programs that your purchase supports (The Libin Cardiovacular Institute’s CV & Me Women’s Heart Health Initiative in Calgary and the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Insititute’s Ventricular Assist Device Program in Edmonton).
– Comforting chocolate-y recipes from our kitchen to yours
– Chocolate from 11 Albertan chocolatiers and confectioners. From St. Albert, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Calgary, and Cochrane, we’ve travelled over 400 kilometers to connect you with Alberta’s premier chocolate artisans. It’s a one of a kind collection just for you and those you care about!
