CITY COUNCIL
Heidi’s gets approvals Development permit and liquor licence given support by Cranbrook council
SAL LY MACD ON AL D Townsman Staff
The brew pub coming to Cranbrook’s Baker Street has been given double ticks of approval by the city. On Monday, February 18, council supported a liquor primary licence and a development permit for the pub that is set to replace Heidi’s Restaurant this summer. Temporarily named The Black Dog Brewpub, the new business is a partnership between
Heidi Romich, her daughter Marlies Romich and Kamloops master brewer David Deardsell. At council’s Monday meeting, two items helped plans for the brew pub move ahead. First, council supported a liquor primary licence after the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch sought a recommendation from the city.

other home when she tried to cross the tracks in front of an approaching train, which was estimated to be travelling at close to 60 kilometres per hour. That speed limit is enforced by CPR for trains travelling through residential areas, said Cpl. Grant Simpson of the Columbia Valley RCMP.
