Sardis Liquor Store Tasting Event - March 30th

We are very excited to share that our next Tasting Bar event at Sardis Liquor Store will be a Double Feature!!! That’s right! DOUBLE THE FUN!!!

We are thrilled to have both Dirty Laundry + Garden Of Granite Wineries join us ‘LIVE’!!!

That’s 2 Wineries, with 2 Guests joining us, sharing 2 Great Stories - both inspiring and unique!

These great brands are spearheaded by visionary Andrew Doyle and the team at Lone Tree Cellars (not the cider!) 

Andrew will be with us in person to share on these adventures and Dirty Laundry Winemaker – Mason Spink will also join in as he celebrates 10 years with DLV (Dirty Laundry Vineyard) this year!

GARDEN OF GRANITE

A humble garage winery in North Vancouver run by a small collective of passionate wine folks. Sourcing fruit from around the world to produce wines that we love.

Garden of Granite Winery is situated in North Vancouver's burgeoning new Brewery District in Lower Lonsdale. Located on the 2nd floor of an old industrial building, right above their sister project, La Cerveceria Astilleros, a new Craft Brewery celebrating the vibrant culture of Mexico. The winery really is an old garage, so the French term 'Garagiste’, seemed apropos. Even more fitting, the term garagiste in wine was coined in reference to rebel winemakers who, without resources or a chateau, broke tradition and started making wine in their garages in Bordeaux. While North Vancouver is a long way from Bordeaux, they find inspiration everywhere, and we hope that we can inspire you to come check them out!

DIRTY LAUNDRY

The story of Dirty Laundry begins with Sam Sui, a Chinese immigrant who came over to help build the Canadian Pacific Railroad in the 1820's. After working on the railroad, Sam
started a laundry service in Summerland, BC. He soon realized that the cattlemen and ranchmen of the Okanagan didn't care much for waiting around laundering their clothes, so he added some additional ‘services’ and turned the upstairs of the laundry into a brothel and a gambling hall! It was said that the "Laundry" was done downstairs and the "Dirty" done upstairs…hence, the beginning of Dirty Laundry… and as all members of the Bordello Club will say… what happens at Dirty Laundry stays “Hush Hush” … For the record, Hush Rose happens to be their biggest seller and BC’s best-selling Rose!

Join Us March 30th

Wings, Symbols & Myths - Chilliwack Cultural Centre

/

WINGS, SYMBOLS AND MYTHS  by Members of the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association  

Nov 2  – Dec 10 202
Opening reception: Saturday, November 5    1:00 – 3:00 pm     

O'Connor Group Art Gallery @ the Chilliwack Cultural Centre
9201 Corbould Street, Chilliwack
Open: Wed-Sat noon - 5 pm free admission

Man has always looked to symbols to represent an object, a function, or a process. Symbols created by the ancients often cloaked in mystery and the supernatural, walked hand in hand with cultural myths handed down from generation to generation.


Today we recognize symbols as part of our everyday life whether we are obeying a stop sign or adding emojis to our emails. It would be difficult to find a culture that does not have stories or myths that have been passed down throughout the centuries. Whether it be aboriginal stories, Greek Myths, or Norse folk-tales, these myths live through the years as they teach and inform future generations. Artists have brought these stories and characters to life through their drawings, paintings, prints, and carving. Their individual styles have endured through time as well.


Prominent in many myths are winged creatures. As a symbol, wings represent the ability to soar and reach heights otherwise unattainable. A powerful symbol, wings have been used to indicate success, aspiration, purity, and freedom. Variations on winged creatures occur in many cultures and are among the most used mythological images used by artists worldwide. In this exhibit, the artists of the Chilliwack Visual Artist’s Association present their interpretations of this intriguing, multi-faceted theme.

Chilliwack Wrestling

While you are reading this, Chilliwack Wrestling is busy building champions. Want your kid to learn how to throw something other then their game controller? How to shoot something other then their mouth? How to learn to win and lose, like a true champion? Get your kid off the couch and into our program so they can learn some real life skills, build some character, get fit, learn about teamwork and learn how it feels to be a part of something great. Plus.. their first class is FREE! Contact us today!

Chwkwrestling.org

We are a volunteer based non profit club. Our olympic coach Americo volunteers all his time to this and doesn’t get a thing back other than the satisfaction of watching these kids succeed. We are barely scraping by to pay our rent and keep these kids training.

We are in need of a permanent place to train that is affordable and safe that we can use to open our doors for more classes and opportunities for the kids. We currently train at Evergreen Hall but it is too expensive for our budget... the less rent we have to pay the cheaper the fees for the kids. We’d like to be able to see them train for free or very little. We also accept donations of bottles and cans, wrestling shoes in all sizes for our kids, training equipment, cash and of course volunteers are always appreciated!
Sign up info is on our website at Chwkwrestling.org

The Mission Hill Story

In 1981, the Okanagan was largely undiscovered as a wine region, instead it was renowned for the quality of its stonefruit orchards. Grape growers were just beginning to take risks, planting vines in unproven terrain.

Despite these risks, the glacier-formed valley offered varying soil profiles, long, hot growing days, and diverse microclimates. These distinct subregions posed an opportunity to cultivate wine with unmistakable terroir. This potential inspired Mission Hill Family Estate’s vision for the future of Okanagan wine.

Now, after being recognized as Canada’s only five-time winner of Winery of the Year and receiving multiple best varietal awards on the international stage, we continue to draw inspiration from the valley and the vineyards we tend to. For us, the journey is just beginning.
