Such a pleasure tasting all the delicious things in the Okanagan! Truly a magical place on this planet.

This is heart wrenching. But thank goodness everyone was evacuated in time. Terrifying to think what the loss of life could have been.
Brutal, heart-breaking images coming out from Jasper. Here's a post with more visuals on what's been lost so far. #yeg #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli facebook.com/100000441858685…

Stay safe everyone. This is terrible news; Jasper is such a gem and it just breaks my heart to see it under threat.
This is an Alberta Emergency Alert. The Municipality of Jasper has issued a Wildfire alert. This alert is in effect for everyone located in Jasper. There is a wildfire south of town. An Evacuation Order has been issued for the Town of Jasper. Everyone in Jasper must evacuate now. Use Highway 16 towards British Columbia. Follow directions from local authorities. Bring identification, important documents, medication, pets and your emergency kit with you. We will publish more information about assembly points soon. Check the Municipality of Jasper and Jasper National Park's Facebook page and website for more information. alberta.ca/alberta-emergency… #ABemerg #ABfire

This is devastating news. Jezebel changed the conversation and we need its sharp, smart, rightfully outraged feminism more than ever. A very dark day.
Jezebel, the sharp-edged feminist news and opinion website, is shutting down after more than 16 years. Originally launched by Gawker Media in 2007, Jezebel is being shuttered by current owner G/O Media. variety.com/2023/digital/new…

Love the restaurants we worked with on this book! So many great people making great food. I just want everyone to go visit them and eat all the good things.
“We have a number of winery restaurants in the book—and they’re awesome—but we also have quite a lot of the small, independent cafes and bakeries and little restaurants ... it’s a really interesting mix."—@joannesasvari castanet.net/news/Kelowna/44…

This is a terrific list of wineries and others who are donating to wildlife relief efforts in the Central Okanagan. Support them and you can enjoy delicious wine and help our neighbours who need it, too. Thank you, @BCHospitality! – at Victoria, British Columbia
Like many of you, we've been thinking of everyone affected by the current BC wildfire situation in Central Okanagan and looking for ways to help. Being a charity heavily supported by our industry partners, we decided to highlight support initiatives put together by our industry🧵
