Minimum wage rates in Alberta have been frozen for the rest of 2010.
The province’s $8.80 wage, sixth highest in the country after Manitoba,
will be the subject of a minimum wage policy review.
A number of new restaurants, coffee shops and eateries are moving into the Chinook Centre in Calgary, as part of the mall's 180,000 square foot $280 million expansion. As many as 80 new stores are being added.
The 2,200 square foot Prestons has seating for 105 people. Its street
level has 10 private booths and an 18-foot long communal table carved
from a slab of solid cypress weighing in at one tonne.
Coming off a less than stellar 2009, restaurant operators in Vancouver
and Whistler hope the Olympic Winter Games leave those mediocre
memories behind. With the Games just two weeks away, it’s already
happening.
