Green roofs and signs at a Sobey's store. I shopped here but came away unimpressed. It seemed like a Safeway with less selection and fewer bargains.

"The Rooms" is Newfoundland's premier and world class art and history museum. It is architecturally stunning, and its displays, exhibits and collections are all thoughtful, engaging, and fascinating. We were thrilled to see the Sobey Family Collection on display - world class and thought-provoking on its own. It knocked our socks off! It's not only what's inside that is astounding, the museum has many stunning views through their gigantic windows We ended our visit to St. John's with a walk back to our hotel to collect our luggage, head to the airport, then back home to Calgary. Flights these days seem to be getting worse and worse. We got home quite delayed, but thankfully on the day we had actually planned to. We were hoping to not have to overnight on route due to delays, it wouldn't have been fun. But we were spared!
Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Trade, Immigration and Multiculturalism and Brian Jean, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Northern Development announced, in Edmonton on Thursday, December 1, 2022, that Alberta’s government has attracted another job-creating investment to the province.
The ongoing work of Alberta’s government to diversify the economy is working and the province continues to see investment flow into the province. Through its Investment and Growth Fund, Alberta’s government has awarded $2.85 million to the Edmonton-based food processor to close the deal on a facility in Alberta rather than in a competing jurisdiction.
“Our government is proud to be creating an economic climate that is attracting and retaining high-impact investments to our province. We are continuing to work hard to ensure Alberta is known as an international destination to do business. Siwin Foods’ decision to expand in Edmonton will create local jobs, increase our economic growth and recovery, and support the Alberta agriculture industry.” said Rajan Sawhney, Minister of Trade, Immigration and Multiculturalism.
Short on space in its current location and with a growing list of customers from Costco to Sobeys to Walmart, Siwin Foods has plans to build a 70,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in Edmonton. The new facility is designed to be an energy-efficient and waste-reducing processing facility.
Moving into a new facility will allow Siwin Foods to expand its production footprint and provide better access to the global market for its ready-to-eat and quick-cooking meal solutions.
The expected $53.85-million build will create 50 permanent positions and 50 temporary jobs during construction.
“I am so pleased that an Alberta-based success like Siwin Foods has chosen to continue expanding here, creating jobs and delivering high-quality products to the tables of customers around the world. We’ve opened our doors to job creators in Alberta, and our government is committed to helping investors build exciting futures for their businesses and for Albertans.” said Brian Jean, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Northern Development.
“At Siwin Foods, we’re proud that we’ve been able to grow our business in Alberta, where we have an abundance of quality ingredients, access to export markets and a skilled workforce. With construction of a new processing plant, we look forward to continuing to build on our success and serving our growing customer base, both near and far.” said Gord DeJong, vice-president, Siwin Foods.

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.

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.

Full disclosure: I write ads for President's Choice. But Sobey's is closer so I begrudgingly wind up shopping there sometimes. Begrudgingly particularly because of the horrendous produce they have. Like this. I felt compelled to take this shot because not moments before one of the produce dept. guys had been adding herbs to this very same rack but did not notice the absolutely disgusting state of the existing produce. He just kept plopping stuff down at the back of the rack. I regret not taking a fuller picture of the savory (I think) on the left. It was completely rotten. The sorrel was only partially rotten. This is pretty much par for the course there.
After I took this I paused to reflect upon how in the course of my day I had stumbled upon a book signing with Phil Keoghan, and yet I chose not to take a photo of that but instead opted to shoot rotting herbs in my stupid neighbourhood supermarket.

Canadian soprano Kathleen Brett showcases operatic delights from The Mikado, The Marriage of Figaro and more. You'll also hear orchestral works like the William Tell Overture, The Ride of the Valkyries, and a suite from Carmen."

And to think I thought that the Foodland in my hometown was small. This Foodland location in Rockwood, just outside of Guelph, is probably the smallest grocery store I have been to in over 10 years!
It's basically just a large convenience store with 5 aisles and 2 checkout lanes.
This store does have an LCBO convenience outlet, which is nice.
As for the future of this store, it doesn't have many more years left. Sobeys Inc. (Empire) wants to build a new store somewhere in the village of Rockwood. In 2020 the Township granted the Rockwood Foodland a 3 year exception to local bylaws to keep a series of shipping containers on site for extra storage. With this permission about to expire, Sobeys will need to build a new location soon.
Rumours in the town are that a new grocery store will be built across the street. Currently a large dirt pile sits on this lot, so we will see what happens.
The grocery is full of my childhood personified. this stuff is disgusting, i am pretty sure there is no meat content in the "meatballs" but they are oh so guilty a pleasure... there should be support groups for people like me.
