Robert Lawrence Vancouver Highlights Indigenous-Owned Salmon n' Bannock Restaurant

Robert Lawrence Vancouver has highlighted Salmon n' Bannock, an Indigenous-owned dining destination on West Broadway in Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in 2010 by Inez Cook, a member of the Nuxalk Nation, the restaurant has become a cornerstone of Vancouver's culinary scene. Located at Unit 7, 1128 West Broadway, Salmon n' Bannock combines traditional ingredients with contemporary techniques, offering a unique dining experience that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Nuxalk people.

The menu at Salmon n' Bannock is a blend of Indigenous and modern culinary practices. Dishes such as the Salmon Sampler, salmon mousse with bannock crackers, wild sockeye over wild rice, 24-hour bison pot roast, elk meatballs, and house-baked bannock with berry jam showcase the restaurant's commitment to using local and traditional ingredients. Inez Cook, the owner, has been recognized for her work as an Indigenous entrepreneur, speaking at the 2026 Cando Conference as a panelist on the Women in Business panel.

Beyond its dining room, Salmon n' Bannock has expanded its reach through Salmon n' Bannock On The Fly, a pop-up dining service at Vancouver International Airport. Additionally, the restaurant has developed retail bannock mixes, making its signature bread available to a wider audience.

The study, based on email security records of 9,338 small businesses across 12 trades in 20 UK and US cities, highlights the urgent need for improved email security measures among small businesses.

Meanwhile, in Austin, Texas, the grand opening of The Waylon, a new apartment complex, has been celebrated by KTGY, a design firm focused on architecture, interior design, and urban design. The brick and wood-clad podium of The Waylon meanders along a gently sloping site, bringing 300 apartments to North Austin and replacing surface parking for an existing building.
