Friday Feature: Sunrise Orthodontics (2651 East Hastings Street) is a very special place. Dr. Liat and her amazing team have managed to create a warm, and welcoming space for patients that goes beyond the basic quality care. There’s a gentle confidence throughout Dr. Liat’s practice, that puts you at ease, and instills a confidence that you’re in good hands. When building a bond between you and your Dr. it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference. Personal touches such as Dr. Liat’s love of ice cream, and the colour pink can be seen, and felt throughout the sunny space Sunrise Orthodontics provides. It’s these aspects that speak to the infectious joy, comfort, and care Dr. Liat and her team bring to all their patients. But don’t just take my word for it. Book a consultation with Sunrise Orthodontics today!

🌟 Let’s make this year’s celebrations even more meaningful as we celebrate the beauty and richness of British Columbia.

By supporting local businesses, we can contribute to the growth and empowerment of our communities while respecting and recognizing the land we live on. When we shop local, we support small-scale enterprises that often have a deeper connection to the land, culture, and heritage of BC. Plus, we get to experience the unique offerings that make our province so special!

By acknowledging the history of colonialism and the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous peoples, let’s work towards reconciliation and foster positive change. When making your purchases, consider buying from Indigenous-owned businesses and organizations to support Indigenous entrepreneurship and promote cultural diversity.

By prioritizing sustainable and environmentally friendly products whenever possible, we can protect BC’s breathtaking landscapes and ecosystems. By opting for local, eco-conscious businesses, we contribute to preserving the natural wonders that make this province so extraordinary.

Together, let’s celebrate BC’s beauty while acknowledging its complex history and embracing a brighter future. Let’s create a more inclusive and equitable society by shopping local, supporting Indigenous businesses, and caring for our environment. Together, we can make a positive impact!

Friday Feature: @theflagshop
You don’t need to look far to see how The Flag Shop (1615 Powell St.) has contributed to the artistry and impact of the East Village neighbourhood. The beautifully crafted flags that adorn our neighbourhood lamp posts were printed at The Flag shop. They happen to supply many of the street banners seen around the city for many different clients such as other BIAs, Science World, the Vancouver Aquarium, and the Whitecaps. The first specialty flag shop of its kind, now with 11 locations across the country, and 100% Canadian owned, with their headquarters right here in the neighbourhood. They’re your best choice for flag construction, and distribution with the work to back up their incredible reputation!
