THUNDER BAY—A manager at the Memorial Ave. location of Tim Hortons, confirmed that every Tim Hortons restaurant across the country is offering a free hot beverage to our Veterans and Members of the Canadian Armed forces, on Nov. 11.
“All they have to do is come in either in uniform or show ID to receive a free hot beverage,” said the manager. “This is all across the country.” In their Nov. 6, corporate news release, the president of Tim Hortons explained the key purpose behind this gesture.
"Each year, Tim Hortons and our 1,500 restaurant owners across Canada pause to reflect on the sacrifices that so many veterans and Canadian Armed Forces members have made for Canada," said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. "We look forward to greeting veterans and Canadian Armed Forces members on Nov. 11, thanking them for their service and offering them a free hot beverage as a small token of our gratitude."
