Albert and Walter

Allen and Wright

The A&W franchise in Canada traces its roots back to the partnership of Roy Allen and Frank Wright, who joined forces in 1922 to create the A&W brand, with the initials standing for their last names. The first A&W root beer stand was opened that year in California, marking the beginning of the franchise’s journey. The Canadian expansion began in 1956, under the leadership of Canadian entrepreneur Jim Read, and the franchise has since grown to include numerous outlets across the country.

Art has the power to heal in various ways:

  1. Therapeutic Expression: Creating art can offer a therapeutic way to express and process emotions, especially for individuals who find it challenging to convey their feelings through words.
  2. Stress Reduction: Engaging in artistic activities such as painting, drawing, or sculpting can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.
  3. Enhanced Self-Discovery: Exploring artistic endeavors can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself, allowing for personal growth and self-reflection.
  4. Community Connection: Sharing art within a community setting, such as through exhibitions or collaborative projects, can foster a sense of belonging and connectedness.
  5. Cognitive Stimulation: For individuals facing cognitive challenges, participating in art-related activities can promote cognitive function and provide a channel for self-expression.

These factors contribute to the understanding of art as a therapeutic tool for personal healing and community well-being.

TGIF Entropy

Why we work

Entropy, heat goes to cold.

Entropy is a concept from thermodynamics that measures the amount of disorder or randomness in a system. In simple terms, it refers to the tendency of systems to move from a state of order to a state of disorder. This concept is closely related to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. In practical terms, entropy is often associated with the amount of energy in a system that is not available to do work.

Finding Shelter for the Homeless

Homelessness is a pressing issue that requires community support and intervention. In many cities, homeless shelters play a crucial role in providing temporary housing, meals, and support services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These shelters often rely on the assistance of volunteers and donations to operate effectively.

If you are in need of a homeless shelter, consider reaching out to local social service agencies, community centers, or religious organizations for guidance. Additionally, many cities have dedicated hotlines or websites that can help connect individuals with available shelter options. Remember, you are not alone, and there are resources available to help you during this challenging time.

Hang in there,or hang alone

Be good to your self along the way.

We think very highly of the Chinese and British Columbia

The group provided the dangerous labor of using nitroglycerine in building the CPR and the CNR and that brought British Columbia into confederation. They adjusted well to the immigrant status and complied to some legislations that limited them to restaurants laundries and other service industries. However we cal the dry good store in Merritt that was constructed in the 1920s and run by local Chinese for many many decades. The building at the corner of Hope Street and canford avenue didn’t survive the aftermath of the November 14th 2021 flood in Merritt BC.

Thanks to Brenda Wong, for years of exemplary service has she managed the Canada Cafe in the downtown of Merritt and provided a richness to the culture and an inclusion to this little city.
