DQ Miracle Treat Day restaurant FAQ
When is DQ Miracle Treat Day in Canada?
Dairy Queen Canada holds Miracle Treat Day once a year, on a Thursday in August. The Canadian date is separate from the US Miracle Treat Day, so US coverage often lists a different day.
How much of each Blizzard goes to charity?
Net proceeds from every Blizzard Treat sold at participating DQ locations on the day are donated. Dairy Queen defines net proceeds as the pre-tax purchase price minus costs.
Which hospitals does Miracle Treat Day support?
The Children's Miracle Network member hospital foundation that serves each store's region, one of 13 in Canada. Examples are SickKids Foundation in Toronto, CHEO Foundation in Ottawa and the IWK Foundation in Halifax.
Do all Dairy Queen locations take part?
No, only participating DQ locations. Dairy Queen Canada lists them on its Miracle Treat Day page before the event.
Does any Blizzard flavour or size count?
Yes. The donation applies to every Blizzard Treat sold at participating locations that day, whatever the flavour or size. Other ice cream treats and food do not count.
Have restaurants announced DQ Miracle Treat Day 2027 specials yet?
Not yet. As of November 13, 2026, no restaurant in the cities we cover has published a DQ Miracle Treat Day 2027 special on its website, app or social channels. Specials are added here with their price, dates and source once a restaurant announces one.
About DQ Miracle Treat Day
Miracle Treat Day is Dairy Queen Canada's one-day fundraiser with Children's Miracle Network. On the day, net proceeds from every Blizzard Treat sold at participating DQ locations go to the local Children's Miracle Network member hospital foundation, so the money stays in the region where it was raised. DQ defines net proceeds as the pre-tax purchase price minus costs.
The Canadian event is held on a Thursday in August, on a different date from Dairy Queen's US Miracle Treat Day. Only Blizzard Treats count toward the donation; other menu items are sold as usual. DQ Canada lists participating stores on its Miracle Treat Day page, and some hospital foundations promote the day with their own local events.
Children's Miracle Network has 13 member children's hospital foundations in Canada, among them SickKids Foundation in Toronto, CHEO Foundation in Ottawa and the IWK Foundation in Halifax. Dairy Queen has supported Children's Miracle Network hospitals in Canada since 1984 and has raised nearly $58 million for them.
