currently work at a public high school. It is
winter break and they plan to head to New
York City for a short romantic getaway.
The couple plans to get to New York by plane
as it saves time and they decide to get around
the city by subway to hitting all the major hot
spots.
On the day of their flight, they arrive to the
airport, check in their bags, and go through
security. They are walking through the
terminal sipping their coffee when they see a
giant Air Canada booth. Curious, they decide
to walk towards the booth where they see a
giant sign that says “#ACLocals”. As they get
to the booth, they see all these quirky
messages and read through them, pointing
things out to each other.
Turns out they’re all about where they love to
go around the city. They notice the pen and
paper and decide to write about their favourite
place about Toronto. After boarding, they find
their seats and sit down, they find the same
paper in the compartment in front of them.
While they are on the plane to New York City,
they realize that it is going to be busy around
all the major attractions as other families plan
to visit for the holidays but they have always
wanted to go to New York City.
Tim and Jackie relax and interact with the
screen in front them. They notice a section
where it reads ‘#ACLocals’, they click on it
and it leads to another page that is filled with
pictures and captions about New York. They
discover all these new places that locals and
visitors have suggested for them and decide
to re-plan their trip, weaving these unheard of
places into their cliche New York trip.
At the end of the page, they enter their emails
to send their itinerary or download the app on
their phone.
Upon arrival, they go to one of the hot spots
that the local’s recommended for brunch.
They have an amazing meal and memorable
experience and feel they must write about it
on the way back.

supportive and helped him move but
had to go back to their own hometown
as that is where his siblings currently
live.
A few weeks later, he realizes that he is
extremely homesick and misses his
mother’s cooking. He decides to go his
local grocery store to purchase
groceries to replicate it.
As he walks through the produce aisle,
he stumbles upon a kiosk with an iPad.
He goes up to the device and notices a
bunch of pre-packaged bundles. He
swipes through the iPad and sees a list
of recipes and learns more about the
Loblaws “Naturally Imperfect” initiative.
Charlie selects a recipe similar to one of
his mom’s. A video of a middle-aged
lady play, she explains the ingredients
of Kit #2 and starts cooking it.

decides to purchase Kit #2 for himself.
He learns that you can scan the QR
code and retrieve the recipe on his
smart phone.
Charlie gets home and prepares the
meal. Everything in the food-kit is
packaged to perfect portions and
although some of the produce is oddly
shaped, it is fresh. He reminisces home
as he eats the meal.
