On Monday, March 20th, the We Wai Kai Nation hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking to honour the land that will become the site of a new Starbucks licensed location. The store will be operated by the We Wai Kai Nation and this ground-breaking will mark the first-of-its-kind collaboration for an Indigenous-operated licensed store for Starbucks in Canada. The We Wai Kai Nation will focus on hiring locally and the store’s design will reflect the origins and pride of We Wai Kai Nation with materials and local art with space for the community to connect over coffee. It is expected to open in the fall of this year.
