Until seeing Suterbrook, the isolated and functional mixed use neighbourhood was theoretical to me.
Many places constructed under New Urban or Smart growth banners do not seem to function as they are intended - few have the residential density or proximity to support the right mix of amenities necessary for day to day life of residents. A good example is Orenco near Portland Oregon, where mixed use is comprised of largely token coffee shops and hair salons.
But Suterbook was a great surprise. It works well as a little island of urbanity, 600 units spread across just 6 blocks, with more units on the way. People are out and about... now if they would actually connect it to the single-detached residential area acoss the highway.....

BTW Thrifty foods - great grocery store, started out on Vancouver island and recently part of the Sobey's empire. They anchor a great village area in Victoria called James Bay, located on the shoulder of downtown.
Sobeys extra is a store format introduced in 2013. They opened their first Sobeys extra store in Saskatoon in Stonebridge. However, it took nearly 10 months for the company to install the “extra” sign at the store located at 3100 Preston Avenue South in Saskatoon.
This Sobeys was opened in 2007, moving from its previous location on Broadway (which is now a FreshCo). It was previously a Garden Market IGA but was converted to the Sobeys banner sometime in the early 2000s. This is a franchised Sobeys location owned by Derek Leduc and his wife. Interestingly, unlike most Sobeys, this location is unionized under UFCW 175/633. In fact nearly all the grocery stores in Orangeville are union, the only exception is the FreshCo near the town centre.
I had an exciting drive home. Side streets are literally flooded skating rinks, although the main drags are ok. Superstore was closed as the power was out, although Sobey's was open. I couldn't get my car up our driveway so I had to use the heavy milk bags as weights to get myself up the driveway and slid down on my bum (kind of fun really) to get the rest of the stuff out of the car. I'm hoping I can get my car in at least the bottom of the driveway by 10 pm. C'mon ice, keep melting! God bless my puffy coat, it made a great sled.

From New York Times best-selling author Rhys Bowen comes a haunting novel about a woman who braves her father’s hidden past to discover his secrets….
In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.
Nearly 30 years later, Hugo’s estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father’s funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.
Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father’s history – and maybe come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come too far to let go of her father’s secrets now….
An earlier attempt at a portrait of Paul, taken midsummer 2005. I felt it was a bit flat and lifeless, and once he'd had his hot-tub put in the solution seemed obvious.

B.T.O. finished off the night with a rocking time playing their own music, plus music from the Guess Who and a final jam session playing music from other bands where the audience sing-along in a arousing way!
This is a new Sobeys store (opened with the last 2 years) located at 235 Ira Needles Blvd, Kitchener, ON, N2N 0A6 - store # 685. This is Sobeys' new store concept, featuring a brand new parcel pickup!...something that has disappeared en-masse in the past 20 years. Apparently there's a brand new one almost exactly like this in Ottawa (Stittsville) which I'll have to check out soon. The inside of the store is very impressive. I sure hope this is the way Sobeys will go with all their new stores. This parcel pickup is a lower cost style in that they use shopping carts and do not use traditional commande a l'auto bins with a conveyor. This type of setup is common at older Sobeys in Atlantic Canada where they didn't get rid of such a service. I hope this and other in-store services will set Sobeys apart from competitiors. Metro and Loblaws, I hope you're paying attention!
This is a Sobeys Stores100th anniversary pedal car. It was won at one of there stores and I purchased it from the winner to add to our collection.
Another apparent exception to the trend towards supermarket centralization - this Sobeys (again, on Torbay Road) isn't very far north of another much larger location in the Howley Estates area, yet it's in the middle of renovations.
But then, the Howley Estates Sobeys was one of the last locations constructed before the chain adopted the Publix model - medium-sized community markets focused on food and customer satisfaction, not general merchandise. I'm not saying the Howley location was a failure - I don't know - but then there aren't any Sobeys in the Stavanger Drive area.
On October 17, 2014, I paid a visit to the Sobeys store located at 3907 8th Street East. Two doors at the main lobby have been replaced. Inside, the doors are still from Stanley Access Technologies. However, two sets of Stanley doors are now from Besam. Furthermore, a new Sobeys store opening in Saskatoon are also using Besam doors. However, I do like the sensor, but I'm not quite sure which model is being used in this situation.

Since the acquisition of Canada Safeway by Sobeys in 2013, the existing Safeway stores have gone in a new direction. With a new store opening to replace an existing one at the Lawson Heights Mall, this will remain the most outdated location.
There has been talk about updating this location for years, but that has yet to occur.
The Sobeys Liquor store at 1Y3-2965 Gordon Road in Regina uses a mixture of doors from both ASSA ABLOY and DORMA.

Dendrites is composed of two huge staircases sculptures. Placed on either side of Rue Notre-Dame and integrated at the north threshold of the Bonaventure project, the hybrid-shaped sculptures emerge from the ground like two great industrial-looking trees. Similar in morphology, these structures stand out for their size and twisting shapes. The weathering steel used as the main material refers to the manufacturing past of the district where the work is installed. The ochre colour of the oxidized surfaces bears a resemblance to tree trunks.
The term “dendrite” refers to the branched extensions of neurons, which propagate cerebral stimulations from the brain. It also means a ramification, a tree-like grouping of branchings of a network or system. The two elements that form the work reproduce this neuronal phenomenon on the scale of the landscape. The branches that spread parallel to the ground take the form of staircases that visitors can take to reach the ends of the ramifications. Whether visitors view it from the ground or climb its staircases, the work plays on effects of scale. On either side of the street, the two elements face each other, communicate with each other, giving the impression that they are connected in the middle of this vehicular and pedestrian intersection.
Associated events
Dendrites was produced in the context of the Bonaventure expressway redevelopment project at the entrance to downtown Montreal, which constitutes a legacy for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of Montréal. The project was chosen as the result of a pan-Canadian competition by invitation launched in 2016.
In 2014, as a condition of Sobeys purchasing Canada Safeway, Sobeys was required to sell 23 stores across Canada (a mixture of Sobeys's stores and Safeway stores) to competitors. In Saskatoon, the Safeway store located at 3310 8th Street East was ordered to be sold, and was eventually sold to Federated Co-operatives Ltd., which operates Saskatoon Co-op stores. This store, however, is located at 2510 8th Street East, and will close June 14, 2014. This store has gone through numerous outside cosmetic changes over the years. The store is leased and the stores attached to the Co-op store will remain open when the Co-op store closes. The board decided to close this store because it was not economically feasible to upgrade the store to them. A store across town located on 33rd Street West is currently undergoing renovations and the west entrance is already largely demolished, and I will take picture(s) of those doors soon, if they still remain in their present position when I drop by.
Premier Jason Kenney and Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping discussed, during a news teleconference from Belmont Sobeys in northeast Edmonton on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, Alberta’s plan to recognize hundreds of thousands of critical workers who continue to support and provide services to Albertans during this pandemic.
The Critical Worker Benefit is a joint federal-provincial program that will see $465 million go to approximately 380,000 Alberta public and private sector workers as $1,200 cash payments.
“These workers have placed themselves at the front line of this pandemic in order to serve their fellow citizens during a crisis. Alberta’s government is recognizing their good work. We trust this support will help these workers continue to protect lives and livelihoods as we keep fighting this pandemic together.” said Premier Kenney.
The Critical Worker Benefit will be available to workers in the health-care, social services, education and private sectors who deliver critical services to Albertans or support food and medical supply chains.
“I want to thank all the hard-working staff who have gone above and beyond their regular call of duty to support their fellow Albertans throughout this pandemic. This Critical Worker Benefit will go right into the pockets of hard-working Albertans on the front line who have made sacrifices in their own lives for the greater good and well-being of others.” said Minister Copping.

In 2013, Sobeys agreed to acquire Canada Safeway. In order for the takeover to proceed, the Competition Bureau of Canada ordered that Sobeys sell 23 stores, including both Sobeys and Safeway banner stores. Out of these 23, one Safeway store at The Centre was on that list. On May 12, 2014, the Safeway store closed and the transformation into a Saskatoon Co-op store began, as Federated Cooperatives Ltd. acquired the store in Saskatoon.
The store re-opened as a Co-op store on May 14. The store initially closed as a Safeway store on May 12, 2014. Within 36 hours, a transformation was given... but most items are still in their original places.
This store is located at 3310 8th Street East and is located not far from existent store in Greystone Heights located at 2507 8th Street East. It was recently announced that the older store will close.
