🐾 Meet the furry regulars of Heather St.! 🐾

This poster (created by our very own staff artist, Calen!) is a love letter to the dogs of James Bay — the ones you'll spot fetching balls, taking a dip in the ocean, sunbathing, or sniffing out lunch scraps by South Park School. Just steps from Beacon Hill Park and Dallas Rd., this little pocket of Victoria might have the highest good-boy density in the city. 🐶🌊

Come say hi to the humans at Zero Waste Emporium downtown, and give a follow to see more local art from our team!
