Hastings Sunrise's friendly neighbourhood owned and operated grocery store. Corner of Windermere at Adanac | East Vancouver.
We are open 11 am - 8 pm daily
Tomorrow, December 13, we are asking our community to help share a little warmth. We are collecting new socks and new blankets to be distributed to our most vulnerable neighbours during the colder season.
This is Colton. He started a fire at his house when he chewed through the battery pack of a lithium ion powered device. He's not the first dog who has done this, and he won't be the last, but unfortunately his dad is a firefighter, so it's probably going down as one of the most embarrassing instances. Please keep your battery packs stored safely out of reach of pets and kids, and don't worry about Colton. Only the rug was damaged, and we're still giving him a 12/10
Corner stores are just one type of small scale commercial or cultural use that can enliven residential areas. In #HastingsSunrise, these buildings are two short blocks from one another - providing space for grocery, cafe, massage therapy, and an esthetician.
From the Lapu Lapu day tragedy, we are reminded that heroes are always among us. This is what strength, determination, courage and thoughtfulness looks like.
Our thoughts are w/t Filipino community & all those affected by the heartbreaking tragedy yesterday. We hold you in our hearts always. 💔
Please see support info from @filipinos_BC on second pic. "We encourage everyone to check in, support & hold each other... You aren't alone."
A customer of ours knows @TheRezKids. What they told us about all that was lost by the SNRK is heartbreaking. Please consider donating if you are able and please feel free to share the link with others. Thank you. 💕https://t.co/vDq3VPqXIF

Tariffs may still feel abstract to many, so let me share something tangible to help everyone better understand the gravity of the situation.
We employ 50 people at our Canadian cannery. A significant portion of our business is with US customers. For decades, we’ve operated under free trade and structured our business accordingly.
Food canning is highly competitive, and we operate on thin profit margins.
From March 4 to March 7, a 25% tariff was imposed on Canadian imports to the US. For shipments during just this short period, our customers were taxed a combined total of $26,632.12 USD. We've offered to absorb these costs to maintain our customer relationships for now.
This arrangement isn't sustainable. 25% is simply too high of a tariff to absorb on an ongoing basis. If these tariffs persist, we risk losing a substantial—and the most profitable—portion of our business.
Unless we make up for these losses in the Canadian market, it will lead to significant job losses and could even put us out of business completely.
That's why we're urgently appealing to Canadian retailers: please list our products and other products made by Canadian food manufacturers affected by these tariffs. Do it now, please!
We must swiftly respond to this economic warfare to protect Canada’s domestic food and beverage manufacturing industry. This is a matter of food sovereignty and security. We are being attacked!
Canadian customers, please ask your local managers to list more Canadian products in place of US products. This is urgent!
BREAKING: In a Chilling speech, Justin Trudeau Explains why Trump is
really issuing Tariffs, saying it's not really about Fentanyl but about annexing them:
“We have to fall back on the one thing he has said repeatedly —That what he wants is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy, because that will make it easier to ANNEX us. First of all that is NEVER going to happen. We will NEVER be the 51st state.”
It’s BC Budget Day and BIABC President, Jeremy Heighton and VP, Patricia Barnes, will be in the media/stakeholder ‘lockup’ for a budget overview and comment on ‘what’s in’ and ‘what’s missing’ for the small business sector.
Trudeau: "I heard he talked about banking again this morning in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country, so American banks are alive and well and prospering in Canada. It's an example of not really being able to see what he wants ... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."
