The Business Beat submitted by Joel Wiebe
Greetings and welcome to the Business Beat! I’m Joel Wiebe and I have some big shoes to fill. After 22
years of producing the Business Beat, Stu Harrison has stepped back and handed the reigns to me. I don’t know that I can properly replace Stu, but I’m going to do my best to highlight happenings within the business community going forward. Keeping with tradition, I work for the Chamber of Commerce, but getting featured in this weekly column is open to any business in the region. I’ve spent the last decade working with businesses in our community and I look forward to digging into the Business Beat every Monday.

There’s a new business at 1135 Lansdowne Street West, unit 21 — Izzi’s Bubble Tea and Corndogs. This new restaurant offers Korean flavours with custom corndogs where you choose your filling, toppings sauces. You can find them on social media, Skip The Dishes, or drop by and try something new.
