TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Today, rapidly growing Canadian online meat subscription service, truLOCAL, and WW Canada (formerly Weight Watchers) proudly announce a partnership that allows WW members to order specially-curated boxes filled with high quality meat products and delicious recipes, delivered right to their door. The partnership marks WW Canada's entry into the online meat subscription box space in Canada.

truLOCAL delivers high-quality meats produced locally on small farms to Canadians' doors. With the launch, truLOCAL becomes officially recognized by the WW SmartPoints™ system and offers a selection especially tailored for followers of the myWW^TM program. Signature boxes are exclusively available to WW members across Canada at https://trulocal.ca/ww/signature-box.

"The partnership with truLOCAL is an extension of WW's commitment to inspire healthy habits and to meet our members where they are," said Kevin O'Brien, General Manager, WW Canada. "Members engage with WW through our award-winning app, our robust and vibrant online community, in-person workshops in our WW studios, and now, with this partnership, we are bringing meal inspiration and locally produced meat right to their doorstep."

Everything is on the menu with WW!
The first truLOCAL x WW signature box contains 16 servings of protein including bacon, boneless chicken breasts, chicken burgers, sirloin steaks, wild caught salmon filets, ground turkey and three SmartPoints^® recipe cards, along with a $25 truLOCAL giftcard for a special price of $99 per box. Signature boxes will be updated regularly throughout the year to embrace special events and holidays.

"The partnership with WW is a textbook example of what two brands with shared values and similar goals can achieve," said Marc Lafleur, CEO & co-founder truLOCAL. "Our focus has always been on building our brand through community and using technology to give people more access to high quality proteins. Now, being able to work closely with WW to connect with their members on a meaningful level to help them on their wellness journey is what we feel makes this partnership so exciting."

truLOCAL will engage with WW Canada members at workshops to educate attendees about the brand partnership. The partnership will also be supported by influencer collaborations, in-studio activations, co-branded content, and reward programs.
