Actually, it seems Free Burrito Day has been moved to Thursday August 16th. I’m guessing that the shop must have had a delay in opening…but I’m just pulling that from outta nowhere.
Also, there’s free skateboard clinic Saturday morning at Belco skate park. http://region.com.au/learn-to-skate-for-free-august-timetable/78957

No Free Burrito:
Hi John,
We were really looking forward to GYG Canberra opening this week but unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances and a bit of bad luck we’ve had to delay our opening.
Our Free Burrito Day at GYG Canberra will now be Thursday 16th August, 11am-8pm.
Hope to see you all there to help us celebrate!
Regards,
Alison
