Hopeton Anderson, Victoria, BC, CANADA

"The Well" . . . 821 Fort Street

Proprietor of The Well and a published poet himself, Hopeton Anderson has made his vision of creating a place for body mind and spirit a reality in Victoria. His philosophy of "eat well, dress well, read well and live well" can all be seen here. Some of the proceeds from the cafe's coffee supports a community in Mexico while all pastries that are sold have healthy ingredients. The shop also sells healthy and fair trade groceries and the clothing for sale is made of natural fibers. At the back of the shop are an array of books to ensure a read for everyone. Come and check it out!

Wayne Bianchin, Nanaimo, BC, CANADA

Left-winger Wayne Bianchin spent parts of seven years in the NHL, mostly with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He was a clever goal scorer who could play the power play and kill penalties though he rarely found himself in the box.
