In these times of uncertainty and strife, this is the kind of sign we all need.

There is love around every corner if you just look for it.

“If you have enough understanding and love, then every moment – whether it’s spent making breakfast, driving the car, watering the garden, or doing anything else in your day – can be a moment of joy.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh, How To Love

MUCH LOVE to whoever it is that’s posting these amazing Power Pole Signs around Harewood and South Nanaimo.

Support local Harewood businesses! The Pubs of Harewood, Part 2 🍺🖤

If you love beer and live in Harewood, Wolf Brewing Company serves an amazing selection of locally-brewed lagers, pilsners, IPAs, ales and more. 🍻

And at Wolf, you can drink beer – but you can also eat it!

On a recent trip to The Wolf Den – the company’s taproom on Old Victoria Road – we tried the new Mash Pizza, made from the spent grain from Wolf’s beer brewing process, and it was delicious. 🍕

If you’ve never tried a pickle pizza, now’s your chance – and believe me, it’s worth it. 🥒

We also ordered the fat-and-salty pretzel sticks, which come with a drool-inducing Beer Cheese Dip. 🧀

Anyone remember the Harewood Community Hall? Now we are really going back!

This place used to be a gathering spot in our neighbourhood for many years, located on Fourth Street in a large grass lot that separates the two sides of Watfield Avenue.

Older residents of Harewood remember attending dances, community meetings, Scout meets, local elections and other events there.

The Hall eventually became home of the Nanaimo Karate Club, and many still refer to the lot as the “Karate Field”.

Help your Harewood neighbours! This Saturday, Deni’s Dynamite Deals in Harewood is having a huge outdoor sale.

From 9AM-5PM on April 11, over 1000 items will be on sale for CRAZY DEALS, set up outside of Deni’s Harewood store at 499 Seventh Street.

If you’ve never been to Deni’s, now is the time to check it out. It’s a unique thrift and antique store unlike anything that exists anywhere in the city of Nanaimo.

Find cool used bicycles, boats, kayaks, gardening equipment, camping gear, electronics, clothing, kitchen stuff, decorations and EVERYTHING else you can think of – and the proceeds go to local charities!

Used items are donated to Deni and he sells them – or very often just GIVES THEM AWAY – and uses profits to fund local groups in need.

Deni Bezeau has been donating huge amounts of cash to local institutions for years, including to places like John Barsby, NDSS and other local schools, the Boys & Girls Club, Kids For Sports, VIU Hockey, Nanaimo Youth Jazz programs, drama programs, sports teams and many other groups.

As well, Deni has been working with the local Salvation Army to give away dozens of breakfasts every morning to people in need, as well as donating full turkey dinners to hundreds of families at Christmas time, and also handing out $30,000 worth of gift cards to Quality Foods to neighbours who need them.
