McHappy Day®McHappy Day^® is a national fundraiser. It’s when McDonald's® restaurants across Canada and their communities, employees, customers and special guests raise money together to help children in need across Canada.

Every day, we provide countless benefits, to our many customers, our more than 80,000 employees, and the communities we live in. McDonald's offers employment and career opportunities, support for charitable organizations and tax revenues for public services. Each McDonald's restaurant represents between 50 and 100 jobs to a community.
