Peavey Mart should be open in Brooks by year end
Poll
Already booked
Rural work and lifestyle retailer Peavey Mart will set up shop in Brooks later this year, the Red Deer-based company announced Sunday.
Work to renovate a 23,000-square foot bay at the former Freson Bros. Grocery location on Fairview Avenue in that city will begin this spring and be ready to open by the end of 2022.
The independent grocery chain announced the closure of its Brooks location in July 2020. About half the space has already been leased to become a Dollarama, and the remainder will be filled by Peavey Mart.
EDMONTON The Alberta government could have saved around $150,000 in taxpayer money by selecting a different local manufacturer to provide masks for schools, according to documents obtained by CTV News Edmonton. Internal emails portray a frantic few days for government bureaucrats trying to lock in contracts for more than 1.5 million masks in less than a month. In the end, the province spent more and also selected a vendor, IFR Workwear, whose CEO happens to live in the same riding as Education Minister Adriana LaGrange and who also made a $2,000 donation to LaGrange s election campaign in 2016. LaGrange told the province’s ethics commissioner that was, essentially, a coincidence.
