DUNBAR VILLAGE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION Message from President, Vicki Bell Welcome to the winter edition of Dunbar Life.

We were fortunate to have experienced unseasonal fall temperatures, but like Halloween magic, frost appeared overnight! Speaking of Halloween, the Dunbar Village Business Association’s Trick-or-Treat in Dunbar Village event made its annual return October 28th on a beautiful fall afternoon.

Kids came out in full force to celebrate in creative costumes, and our businesses experienced the highest candy demand ever! Now, our thoughts shift to the upcoming holiday season when we bundle up to enjoy outdoor activities and spend more time indoors with family and friends.

Tradition is a large part of the holidays, and we hope that shopping in Dunbar Village is on your list of traditions. Dunbar’s merchants have unique offerings and look forward to your support and presence this shopping season. In this issue, you will find the Dunbar Village Gift Guide that offers many original gift ideas sure to bring smiles to the recipients.

The DVBA board hopes you have been enjoying the return of winter white holiday windows in Dunbar Village. We received such positive feedback last year that the DVBA board decided to turn Dunbar Village into a winter wonderland once again this winter.

The Graphic Garden worked its magic again painting pine branches, trees, snowflakes

and winter scenes on the windows of 46 businesses. We know this will provide the perfect backdrop for you to also enjoy the sounds of caroling and other holiday music that will be coming to Dunbar this December.

Featured on the cover of this holiday edition is Stephen Coulson, the proprietor of Celtic Treasure Chest. In his store, discover a variety of deli items, dairy products, groceries, and gifts directly imported from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Explore an assortment of Christmas puddings and cakes and festive offerings from Cadbury, Celebrations, Heroes advent calendars, and selection boxes.

I’m guessing the Cadbury Heroes advent calendars won’t last long!

This autumn, the DVBA convened its Annual General Meeting. The DVBA is dedicated to enhancing and advocating for Dunbar Village’s business district. We extend our gratitude for your ongoing support of our businesses year-round and eagerly anticipate your presence during this upcoming festive season.

With three developments in the final phase of construction, we welcome the following new businesses to Dunbar Street: Code Ninjas, Heyni Education, Hoax Beauty Clinic, JAK’s Beer, Wine & Spirits, and Prado Cafe.

As we say goodbye to 2023, we are excited about the upcoming New Year. We wish you and your family a joyous holiday season.

May 2024 bring you abundant peace and happiness.

CELTIC TREASURE CHEST: A Taste of Home Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier & Carolynne Palla

It has been seven years since Cristina Ciccone and Stephen Coulson purchased Celtic Treasure Chest. As regular customers, they counted on the shop for its fine assortment of products from the United Kingdom. They brought their kids there when they were young to introduce them to Stephen’s British heritage.

When they discovered Steve and Lil McVittie were selling the business, Stephen and Cristina started stocking up on products.

Then, they had an idea; they ran through a “what if we bought the business” scenario.

While neither had retail experience, they loved the shop and wanted to ensure it continued.

Like Stephen, many of their customers hail from Great Britain and are searching for products the couple miss from home.

DunbarLife.com

Seeing, smelling, or tasting a particular food can take people to another place and time.

Stephen says, “I like to refer to the shop as my nostalgia emporium, and it’s true that sometimes people are surprised to see something that they haven’t seen in a while, although many come in with a pretty good idea of what they are looking for.”

“A few years back, a gaggle of young women came in. As soon as they set foot inside, they were squealing excitedly. I could hear them going from aisle to aisle, giggling and shrieking in delight as they recognized various items. When they got to the counter, I asked them how long they’d been in Vancouver,

see him at the till, but more often, he assists behind the scenes.

“We have had many employees in our seven years and are still in touch with some of them.

We’ve been lucky to have had many great people work with us. You’ll likely see Alex on shift if you’re in on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. On the weekends, we have Maggie on Saturdays and Matthew on Sundays. Last year, a young lady named Amy from England joined us and has been taking on more of the shop’s management. If you came by during the Coronation, you would have tasted her Cornish pasties and Victoria sponge cake.”

imagining that it must have been a good number of years for them to be so emotional. “Two weeks,” they said. It seems that homesickness can set in pretty quick sometimes.”

Stephen has fond memories of foods from his childhood.

“I still like a good sharp pickled onion, Jaffa cakes and Ginger Nuts. Cheese and onion are still the king of crisps. Some things have changed. In the old days, the Sherbet Fountains were wrapped in paper with the stick of licorice just poking out the top where hundreds of little fingers could leave their grubby prints before you bought it and stuck it in your mouth. Now they are all hermetically sealed in plastic.”

Products are imported directly from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

The neatly arranged shop has a deli and dairy section stocked with UK-style sausages, bacon, meat pies, sausage rolls, pasties, Scotch pies, haggis, Scottish kippers, haddock, white (Mealy) pudding and black (blood sausage) pudding, clotted cream, double Devon cream and British and Irish cheeses.

Grocery items are plentiful and include jams, marmalades, teas, biscuits, chocolates, sweets, beans, soups, chutneys, pickles, spreads, and baking supplies.

Top sellers include Walker’s Cheese and Onion crisps, meat pies and Brennan’s sausages. The black puddings are very

Early on, Cristina and their daughter Lalla were actively involved. Lalla is now an archaeologist and is often away on digs, and Cristina’s registered clinical counsellor practice demands more of her time.

Their son, Gianluca, still works at the shop. Sometimes, you will 10

popular, as are Jaffa Cakes and Hula Hoops of all kinds.

“Come Christmas, the Marks and Spencer cakes and puddings are very popular. When Easter rolls around, we carry the proper big chocolate eggs.”

People who are difficult to buy for or do not want material goods often enjoy consumable presents.

Celtic Treasure Chest also has some Coronation stock left, including mugs, teacups, tea towels, and some commemorative Queen Elizabeth items.

“We have gift cards, and we can also mail gift certificates. As usual, we will carry a broad selection of Christmas puddings and cakes along with Christmas offerings from Cadbury, Celebrations, Heroes advent calendars and selection boxes. Our Marks and Spencer Christmas items may even come early this year (fingers crossed)!”

The customers and their smiles are the most rewarding part of owning Celtic Treasure Chest.

DunbarLife.com

“We have great customers, and we love chatting with them. It’s gratifying when we can help them find what they are looking for.

It’s also wonderful watching strangers talk to each other and seeing friends being surprised to bump into each other.”

Quartz Countertops in UBC Reza was great from the moment I walked into his store. Super helpful, respectful and responsive. He understood what we were looking for and delivered quickly, efficiently and at great value! Amazing price for quality product. The install guys were a dream too! Reza even went above and beyond to help with our tiles too.

The whole experience has been positive. Highly recommend.

Ask An Expert:

What are the benefits of a Professional Real Estate Negotiator?

Real estate agents are paid negotiators and it is critical that you have a professional who is trustworthy and trained to get the most value from a real estate transaction. The benefits of a Professional Real Estate Negotiator include: BETTER CHANCE OF A FAVOURABLE OUTCOME - An unskilled negotiator argues positions which lead to a win/ lose or a lose/lose outcome. A skilled negotiator trades interests to create a win/win outcome.

SKILLED AT MANAGING EMOTIONS - Emotions influence behaviour. Emotional negotiations result in a weaker approach, quicker reactions, and an early exit.

Third-party negotiators reveal less emotion in stressful environments. Their approach is careful and deliberate, and they strike the best deals.

STRATEGIC - Professional negotiators focus on identifying alternatives, using leverage, and executing the process strategically. They create value and are more successful because their skills are better honed, and the process is routine for them.

GETTING YOU TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO MARY-JANE BENNETT is an expert in federal transportation. A lawyer by profession, she turned to transportation consulting after completing nine years on the Board of the Canadian Transportation Agency. She has dealt with a variety of issues from rail relocation, airport financing and airline overbooking to the historical roots behind the legendary farm battles with railway partners. She has written how over-regulation of key transportation providers has deterred innovation and hurt Canada’s growth as a nation.

She has presented her viewpoint at conferences and in a variety of scholarly articles and newspaper op-eds, including the Financial Post, Hill Times, Politics, Vancouver Sun, and The Province. She was a recent panelist at the Responsible Economics conference, hosted by the University of Toronto, Massey College. In January 2023, she completed a paper for the prestigious U.S. Journal of Transportation Law, Logistics and Policy on the unworkability of Canada’s extended interswitching law.

Mary-Jane Bennett has been an early proponent and supporter of expanded public transportation systems. She sees them as playing an important role in reducing congestion & green-house gas emissions.

Modern intra and inter-city transportation, she says, also boost the standard of living for many by allowing the transit to jobs or schooling without the need for the large capital outlay and operating expense behind a car purchase, valued at a $15,000 per year saving. And those situate near a subway or other expanded transportation options have witnessed an increase in residential property values as mass transport begins to take hold in North America.
