AAPI-Owned Restaurants in Canada
by David Klemt
KRG Hospitality stands in solidarity with the Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community in Canada.
The hate and violence directed toward AAPI communities is unacceptable and reprehensible—it has no place in this country.
Below, we’ve listed AAPI-owned restaurants people can support in the three main Canadian markets in which we operate. Of course, we encourage people to find additional AAPI-owned businesses they can support.
We must come together and support one another. The hospitality industry is about diversity and inclusion.
We’re a family that looks out for each other and the communities we serve. The divisiveness and hate must stop.
