The team
NOVEMBURGER™ has always been about more than just burgers, it’s about community. Our Ambassadors are local champions who bring people together through food, storytelling, and connection.
This November, they’ll be visiting participating restaurants, cheering on creative Novemburger builds, and spotlighting the chefs and teams behind them. By sharing their experiences, our Ambassadors help spread the word about NOVEMBURGER™, encouraging more people to get involved, support local restaurants, and contribute to our fundraising goal for Breakthrough T1D Canada.
We’ll also be sharing each Ambassador’s favourite Novemburger on this page and across our social media channels , so you’ll know which creations they couldn’t stop talking about.
