Big Flavour. Bigger Impact.
The first United Way Ultimate Burger Battle is now here! We’re excited to join United Ways across Canada by launching the tastiest event of the year. Local restaurants and eateries across Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Cornwall & Akwesasne will be serving up their delicious signature Ultimate Burgers, where $2 from every single Ultimate Burger sold is donated to help our communities.
Join us for a month of tasty competition, local flavor, and real impact where every bite makes a difference.

Meet our 2026 Ambassadors
They’ve accepted the challenge: find THE ULTIMATE BURGER in SDG!
Our burger-loving Ambassadors are ready to hit the road, dig in, and put local burgers to the ultimate taste test. They’ll be visiting participating restaurants and putting each burger through its paces, rating everything from taste and texture to toppings and presentation.
It won’t be an easy job, but someone has to do it!
Follow our Ambassadors on social media for their burger adventures, favourite bites, and maybe a few clues about which burgers are worth sinking your teeth into.
