    Academy of the Sacred Heart Launches $1.8 Million "Nourishing Our Future" Capital Campaign
    2026/02/06
    In this episode of BC Food News, Jennifer English discusses the Academy of the Sacred Heart's new 'Nourishing Our Future' Capital Campaign — a $1.8 million initiative to overhaul the school's dining experience. The project involves the introduction of a new commercial kitchen, updated dining spaces, and a daily lunch program. A significant portion of the initiative is funded by a $1 million donation from Kris and Brittany Doman, parents of four children at Sacred Heart. The new dining space will henceforth be named the 'Doman Dining Hall' in honor of their contribution. Starting in fall 2026, the school's new commercial kitchen will be managed in partnership with Plum Market Food Service, a firm renowned for serving health-conscious, kid-friendly meals. This partnership and the entire campaign align with Sacred Heart’s mission to nurture students in mind, body, and spirit, while cultivating a strong sense of community.

    2026/01/29
    The episode of BC Food News, hosted by Jennifer English, offers updates on Empire Company Limited and its subsidiary, Sobeys Inc. The companies are transitioning their e-commerce strategies by closing their Alberta facilities due to slower growth and smaller market size.

Furthermore, the companies maintain steady growth in Ontario and Quebec under the Voilà banner with help from Ocado. Empire is also set to partner with DoorDash to provide more grocery delivery options. These e-commerce changes are expected to improve earnings with an estimated $95 million in annualized operating income by fiscal 2027, despite expecting a $750 million charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The episode closes with a brief overview of Empire's size and presence in the Canadian market.
