"The idea was to keep it simple and easy," says Chef Scott Hergott. A call went out for volunteers to help prepare, package and distribute the Easy Eats meals. Then, the menus were released twice a week, at the beginning to team members who could come to the Elk + Avenue Hotel in Banff and the Chateau Jasper to pick up their meals, and as of April 24, to the community at large.
"I figured we'd get some interest in volunteering from our colleagues, but the response was even more than I'd hoped," Chef Hergott says.
