Joanne MacDougall, manager of North Vancouver’s Blenz HOpe Café, serves tea to guests at the shop’s inaugural Patio Tea Party, held last month. The event was a sold-out success and attracted 75 people, treated to tea served in vintage china, biscuits, scones and homemade preserves. The Blenz HOpe Café is a social enterprise of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s North and West Vancouver branch and offers staff an inclusive and supportive work environment.
