Trivia Night
2025-12-11 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Vancouver) | Wheelhouse Brewing, 217 1st Ave East, Prince Rupert, Canada
It’s back, our Trivia Night has returned from its brief hibernation (we assume it was studying obscure facts the whole time).

It’s now monthly! Teams of up to 6. First come, first serve so come early, get a table and some dinner to feed your mind.
Bring your nerdiest friends, your most useless knowledge, and your thirst for beer and glory. Whether you know the capital of Mars or just want to argue about 90s movie quotes, we’ve got a pint with your name on it.

What’s at stake? Glory. Bragging rights and some of the weirdest prizes EVER.

Wooms Studio & Collective GRAND OPENING
2025-12-08 10:30 - 17:30 | British Columbia
Well friends, here it is.We’ve braided our two companies together and are opening a shared storefront—something that’s been years in the making. Mark and I have been working our butts off to get the doors open as fast as possible and its finally ready.This Monday, December 8th, we’re opening a gift store in the upper Cow Bay area. Inside, you’ll find a mix of West Coast Best Coast Clothing & Designs, home goods, natural soaps, and of course all the Wooms Botanicals products you’ve supported over the years.Back in 2019, we first attempted to open a shop here in Prince Rupert, but were forced to close just two months later due to the pandemic. From that moment, Wooms Botanicals grew its own roots while our clothing and design line kept pushing forward. Both brands have carried their own triumphs and challenges, but through every high and low, we stayed the course—creating, learning, and doing our best to bring our customers quality products and honest service.Now, after all that resilience and rebuilding, we’re finally opening our doors again.We welcome everyone to come visit, explore, and support local, provincial, and Indigenous-made products.See you Monday!!!
