He said he has been working alongside a Lower Mainland developer, Ignition Group, conducting due diligence over the past three years. Ignition has a contract to purchase the 500-acre (202-hectare) waterfront property. To envision what is intended to be developed on the former sanatorium grounds, McLeod suggested picturing a village like Sun Rivers on Kamloops Lake and inside city boundaries, complete with residential and commercial buildings, a developer-subsidized day care (not a school, as previously reported), a community centre, a country lakefront inn, a city park, a boat launch, trails, a farm, a market and a winery. McLeod described plans for Tranquille as a family-friendly community, with 1,500 mixed housing units (from apartments to cottages) and interesting enough to draw people. The village will include waterfront pathways, lookouts, viewpoints and enhanced access to Kamloops Lake and Tranquille River via Kamloops’ only lakefront municipal park.

Kathleen Bellicchi the founder of Rhode Island s Bellicchi’s Best Biscotti has grown from starting out with the help of Hope & Main, to landing a contract with Home Goods, and now working to break in the CBD market.
“I was thrilled to be recognized as one of GoLocal’s 20 to Watch in 2020, so I felt like I had a lot to live up to, and we have really done great things this year,” said Bellicchi. “First, we finalized our deal with Home Goods on the day they closed their stores in March, because of the pandemic. So rather than being in their shelves for Easter, we shipped our first order in early September, and the second order is actually going out this week.”

Best produce delivery services
The COVID-19 pandemic has made grocery shopping a more intimidating or stressful prospect for some people who used to do it routinely, but a produce delivery service offers a convenient alternative way to eat healthily and stay stocked with fruits and vegetables.
Beyond traditional grocery delivery services, there are many produce subscription boxes to consider. You can have fruit, vegetables, and even good eggs and wholesome grains delivered to your doorstep from a local farm. These online grocery subscription services are similar to community supported agriculture (CSA), which connects customers with local farmers for a selection of fruit and veggie options. But instead of heading over to drop-off locations to pick up your locally grown weekly bounty of local organic produce or CSA box, shipments of seasonal fruit and veg are sent directly to your home.
