One of New Westminster’s favourite sandwich shops has opened a second location in Burnaby.
Big Star Sandwich is now open at 3736 Canada Way (right near Boundary Road). The New Westminster-based sandwich shop, and recent winner of the Record’s Readers’ Choice Award for best sandwich, first opened in 2013.
The popular eatery offers speciality deli sandwiches including a turkey sandwich with house-made stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo; a corned beef, turkey and Swiss sandwich with lettuce tomatoes, mayo and deli mustard; or one of the vegetarian offerings with marinated artichoke hearts and provolone.
For now, the new shop is open Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stay tuned for details on the Burnaby grand opening.
Bandits drop-in on students
The “Bandits” are on the loose.
Bandits Gone Rogue is a group of staff members from Burnaby software sales and support company Traction on Demand who are touring around the province this week conducting random acts of kindness.
Last week, Caitlin Tuba paid a visit to Buckingham Elementary school in Burnaby to lead two coding sessions. Students in grades 6 and 7 got a chance to create a story using Scratch, a free programming language that can be used to create interactive stories, games and animations.
Students were given a brief eight-minute run down of the program before they were let loose to create their own story.
“The creativity was impressive,” Tuba wrote in an email.
