“Tim Hortons has been a part of my daily routine since I moved to Canada 35 years ago, so when they approached me asking to share my story as a proud Canadian, the answer was absolutely yes! That cup of coffee with 2 cream and 1 sweetener has been with me through everything, and I am proud to hold it every day.” Says Superfan Nav Bhatia.
