Is a visit to Canmore on the horizon? If you’re lucky, you’ll be there on a day when Frankie D’s Donuts are available.

Frankie D’s isn’t just any doughnut company. Makaylah Rogers and Fia-Lynn Crandall started the business a couple of years ago, naming it after their sweet labradoodle, as a way to: a. make people happy by eating tasty things, and b. bring mental health into regular conversation. “Doughnuts bring people together and help reduce loneliness,” says Rogers. “Frankie D’s is about helping the community to understand that mental health affects us all and affects us differently depending on the identities and privileges that we have.”

I don’t know about you but my mental health improves when I eat a doughnut. They’re a great hiking food, too, as a reward for how hard you’ve worked. Flavours vary: Raspberry Mojito and Blueberry Basil are just two, made with real mint and basil on top.
