The Fairfield Pet Clinic opened up on my block of North Park Street (in the former Heritage Cat Clinic* space) last year.

Frontline workers at Starbucks in the 3100 block of Douglas Street in Victoria now have the backing of the United Steelworkers as they seek better working conditions from the Seattle-based coffee giant.

 

About 30 workers at the location — one of Starbucks’ busiest in the city thanks in part to its drive-through — voted to join the Steelworkers union in hopes of being able to better protect their health and safety at work.

Does anyone know what is coming to the former Dolce Vida Coffee location on Douglas by Fatburger?  It is undergoing renovation (there are a couple of active permits) and I wonder if this will be the new/next location for Habit Coffee?

Kat's Koffee and Kake might have garnered more attention.
