“Organizing an event like this takes plenty of time, commitment and dedication to our school community,” says committee member Meaghan Merrick. “Without the parents, the fabulous volunteers, many of whom have given their time for countless years, a few key business friends such as the Dragon’s Nest Bed and Breakfast, Magpie’s Kitchen and the Room who sell tickets for us, and those incredible home owners, we truly couldn’t offer this experience year after year.

We at Mr. Breakfast have been a staple in our community for 25+ years as an independently owned family restaraunt relying solely on the support and voice of the people of our city and the strong voice and support of the Cathedral area. Just like the wonderful Cathedral community we have ran our business in our own unique way and have gone against the norm which is why our business and your community is so special. It would be a honor and a pleasure to see members of the Cathedral community come enjoy our food and service. The Cathedral area is a very important part of our city that helps our city shine like nothing else and our little family run business has been Regina’s little secret for years so we would love to have the people and the culture of the Cathedral community frequent our little business and combine the 2 spots that have made Regina special!
