Australian fast food chain giving away 10,000 free chickens but customers need to get in quick
Run don't walk, Australian fast food chain Oporto will be giving away 10,000 free chickens to celebrate Dia De Portugal. From midday on Tuesday, customers at the chicken restaurant will be able to enjoy their trademark Portugese flame-grilled chicken for free. But there's a catch — those who want to snag the chicken at no charge will need to get in quick, as it will only be on offer for the first 50 customers at each store across the 200 locations in Australia. 'Dia De Portugal, or Portugal Day, is a global event in Portuguese culture and what better way to mark it than with our craveable, Portuguese flame-grilled chicken? It's our way of bringing people together with food, flavour and generosity,' Oporto head of marketing Ben Simmons said. The offer will be available to West Aussies at Perth locations in Balcatta, Bently, Brabham, Canningvale, Joondalup, Karrinyup and South Perth. Anyone who misses out on the free food will still be able to grab the Bondi burger for $5 throughout the day.

Statement by Minister Guilbeault on Portuguese Heritage Month
The Government of Canada issues a statement to mark Portuguese Heritage Month OTTAWA, ON, June 1, 2025 /CNW/ - In June, we are pleased to mark Portuguese Heritage Month, an opportunity to celebrate the history and culture of the Luso-Canadian community, an integral part of our national fabric. Portuguese people have made Canada their home since the early 1950s—most of them from the Azores and Madeira—in search of a better life. Armed with their courage and will, they settled on Canadian soil to help create the country we cherish today. More than 500 years after the first Portuguese explorers set foot in Canada, there are now almost 500,000 people of Portuguese origin living here. Present in all our major cities, they form one of the largest Portuguese diasporas in the world. They also excel in a variety of fields; from education and politics to the arts, finance and community service, members of Luso-Canadian communities are making Canada stronger through their vitality and hard work. Throughout June, I invite everyone to celebrate the heritage and culture of Luso-Canadians and to mark Portugal Day on June 10. Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas is the perfect time to reflect on what unites us and recognize just how significantly our fellow citizens of Portuguese origin have contributed to our culture and diversity. Happy Portuguese Heritage Month! SOURCE Canadian Heritage View original content:
