Some good news for Catalyst Paper and other Pulp/Paper Manufacturers in BC! The Government and the BC Chamber of Commerce both announced yesterday that a new Power Smart Initiative aimed at long-term cost reduction has been achieved. The program allows for up to 75% cost recovery by the various mills thus enabling them to improve systems, and reduce operating costs along the way. We see this as a significant step toward industry longevitiy in our communities. More savings equals more employment, more stability and general economic health of communities.
Chamber welcomes Power Smart Program for BC Paper Mills

Brie and Barrel - Sharie Minions
Brie & Barrel was inspired by a small wine bar in Sidney BC. Owner's Sharie & Colin Minions had a dream to create an elegant restaurant featuring quality wines, local craft beer, and unique flavourful dishes utilizing local ingredients wherever possible.
The space was quickly chosen and work began. Since the start, Brie & Barrel has prided itself on an always changing menu to an ever growing wine list featuring the best of local and international small wineries. Brie & Barrel always has something new and exciting to try.
With our most recent change, Brie & Barrel is excited to now be home to a beautiful new luxurious covered patio space and a stunning garden section covered in wisteria vines. Each table equipped with it's own personal table-top fire to enhance your dining experience, we are so proud of the space we've created at Brie & Barrel.
