Life around Cranbrook

Thursday, Mar. 04 2010  |  Posted by: Steve Stockwood  |  0 comments

So as it seems spring is making a bit of an early start this year, I thought I would give everybody a little taste of some new attractions around Cranbrook and what to expect this summer.

Gone to the dogs

Working in conjunction with Stephanie, owner of The Paw Shop on 10th Ave, we will be hosting a K9 play date on Tuesday March 16th @ 6:30pm. This idea was started due to the lack of designated dog park in the city of Cranbrook.  The city is not in immediate need of such a park due to the abundance of natural space surrounding the city, including the Community Forest where you will find many owners and their pets off-leash, but we recongnize a need to get people and their K9 friends socializing together.

The event will be held at the old landfill site just east of the College of the Rockies. We will meet at the south parking lot which is accessed from Mt. Baker Road at 6:30pm and walk together to the event location.

Contact myself or stop by The Paw Shop for more information.

Good food

For those visiting, Cranbrook has welcomed with open arms its 2^nd Tim Hortons. You can find this new location in the Tamarack Shopping center parking lot.

Cranbrook also welcomes Boston Pizza. After a couple years out of Cranbrook, the new owners have built a great place for friends to meet in the lounge or families to have a night out together.

Sushi lovers take note, Sakura is here to cater to those in need of a sashimi fix. Sakura is located in downtown Cranbrook on Baker Street.
