Lunch can often be a light meal as well, as it’s traditionally eaten on or around 12:00 noon, a time when most Canadians are still at work. As a result, in recent years traditional Canadian “lunch foods” have tended to be those which are portable or easy to make, such as sandwiches, soups, or salads. On occasions when more time and effort is available (for instance, on the weekend or when visiting a restaurant), lunch meals can be largely indistinguishable from dinner meals. - See more at: http://www.thecanadaguide.com/food#sthash.TyR3AEk0.dpuf
