 VICTORIA — British Columbia’s restaurant industry was left out in the cold again, as yesterday’s budget failed to alleviate any of the pressure operators will face with the introduction of HST in July.
"The province broke a promise to our industry when they introduced the HST, and today they have broken another one by offering nothing in the budget to lessen the impact on our industry," says Mark von Schellwitz, vice-president Western Canada for the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA).

 DELTA, B.C. — As Canadians prepared to celebrate the close of the Olympics, speed skater and double medalist Kristina Groves, along with Olympic supplier Hain Celestial, spread further cheer by presenting $10,000 to Right To Play, a charity which uses sport programs to improve health, develop life skills and encourage peace in disadvantaged communities.
Hain Celestial — which sells natural and organic packaged grocery products — pledged $5,000, a sum Groves personally matched on the spot. "I am donating $5,000 from my medal winnings to Right To Play,” she announced at the Concord Place Community Celebration Zone in Vancouver. "The work that Right To Play does around the world makes a real difference for hundreds of thousands of children every week. We are so fortunate here in Canada, and we need to share our good fortune with others."
