For those unaware, the Pirate Pak is a classic children’s order from White Spot and features a hamburger (or other dinner item) placed in a fancy cardboard pirate ship. Sounds silly? You’ve obviously never enjoyed the thrill of finding pirate treasure (i.e. a gold chocolate coin) in the hull of a cardboard ship!

White Spot will celebrate its fifth annual Pirate Pak Day by donating $2 from each kids and adult Pirate Pak sold on Wednesday, August 15 to Zajac Ranch for Children. Zajac Ranch is an established B.C. charity that gives children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities an unforgettable summer camp experience.

Last year’s extremely successful “Dinner in the Sky” event introduced Vancouver to an incredible new dining experience – 100 feet in the sky! The one-of-a-kind suspended restaurant sold out for the entire month of July and delighted diners with gourmet food, cocktails, wine, and stunning 360-degree views.

For 2018, the unique dining experience has been taken over by WESTCOAST Sightseeing, which plans to hold “Dinner in the Sky” for three months this summer. If you missed your chance to dine in the sky last year, there are plenty of opportunities to try it in 2018!
