August is Bacon Month in the Bacon Capital of Canada
For the third year in a row, August is Bacon Month in Manitoba. Bacon makes everything better, and Manitoba Pork is once again inviting bacon lovers to celebrate living in Canada’s bacon capital and to enter our contest to win bacon for a year!
The Maple Leaf Foods plant on Lagimodière Boulevard is the largest bacon processing facility in Canada, producing more than 25 million kilograms of bacon each year. A recently announced investment in the facility by the federal and provincial governments means that bacon production at the plant will increase by 8 million kilograms a year in the near future.
“Manitoba is proud to be the bacon capital of Canada and we’re inviting everyone to celebrate Bacon Month with us,” notes Manitoba Pork Chair George Matheson. “The Manitoba hog industry contributes over $1.7 billion annually to our economy and provides over 13,000 jobs. And, of course, bacon makes everything better!” •
