Now in its 12th year, Pirate Pak Day has sent hundreds of children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities to Zajac Ranch for Children, a fully inclusive summer camp. Here, campers participate in activities like outdoor adventures, water sports, and arts and crafts, all designed to build self-confidence and create lasting memories. Each year, the White Spot team extends their involvement beyond fundraising by serving lunch during "White Spot Week," adding a personal touch to the camp experience.
The success of Pirate Pak Day is a collective effort, where every White Spot team member plays a vital role. From the early hours of food preparation to the meticulous work of line cooks and the warm welcomes from servers and greeters, White Spot staff dedicated over 200 hours to building Pirate Pak boats and ensuring a memorable experience. This year, thousands of guests from across the province joined in, eager to support a great cause and relive the tradition. Together, they enjoyed 41,312 Paks on Pirate Pak Day. The collective dedication of our team and the enthusiastic participation of our guests is what truly makes Pirate Pak Day a cherished event year after year.
Created for “little mateys,” the White Spot Pirate Pak Menu offers delicious meals made of fresh, local ingredients served in the iconic pirate ship. Since first making its debut on the White Spot menu over five decades ago, the Pirate Pak remains an all-time menu favourite offering hundreds of menu combinations, including vegetarian options, and the boats are 100% recyclable and compostable.
