Okay! . This one is bound to get people talking . For all my fellow Pickle Lovers out there (I’m crushed that there is no Pickle emoji!), here’s a new take... on a Martini....we call it the Pickled-Tini . Pickle-backs are good if you’re out till 3am doing things you probably shouldn’t be doing.... but the Pickled-Tini brings a classier vibe to the under-rated pickled-drinkies . What is this master-piece made of you ask? 2oz Vodka Pickle Juice . No more. No less. . Stop by TC’s today and get Pickled!! (Cucumber emojis are going to have to do) . #TCsPub #BritishPub #OldEnglishPub #TrySomethingNew #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #PickledUp #PickledTini #MoveOverPickleBacks #Foodie #PickleLover #Controversy #GreatFood #AwesomePeople #GreatLocation #CentralPowellRiver #SoClose #ComeVisit #StopIn #RestaurantLife #PubLife #SportsBar #ShopLocal #PowellRiverStrong # See more

Every child matters. September 30th is a time to honour those children, now adults & elders, and their families; to remember those that didn't make it home from residential schools. It is a time to educate Canada on this history. We speak today to the resilience of the Indigenous peoples in our community and across Canada. We are still here. #sunshinecoastbc #powellriverbc #qathetbc #EveryChildMatters
