Holiday Inn Express & Suites… includes pancake machines
by Laurel Miller (RSS feed)
Move over, Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity. There’s a new hotcake in town. InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), parent company of the Holiday Inn family of brands, have unveiled pancakes as the secret weapon for the newly revamped Holiday Inn Express hotels.
All of the business traveler-oriented Express properties will introduce a 24-hour market center with grab-and-go options, and an industry-first: a pancake machine, by March 31, 2011. Thirty test hotels already offer the machine, which uses commercial bags of pre-made mix (just add water!). Dollops of batter drop onto a Teflon-coated cooking belt, yielding a perfectly cooked, great-tasting product, every time. The machines produce one pancake every 45 seconds, ensuring even the hungriest executives will get their fill.
IHG is nearing completion on its three-year Holiday Inn brand relaunch campaign. One of the biggest changes has been the implementation of the “social hub” concept, which, according to HotelNewsNow.com, takes “what has traditionally been separate parts of the lobby–the bar, the food and beverage area, [and] the lounge area–and bring[s] them together in one space.” The thinking is that such enforced coziness will provide an “environment to relax, eat, have fun, work, spend time with family, friends or colleagues,” says Verchele Wiggins, VP of global brand management for Holiday Inn.

Tall Ships
Special Events Tall Ships June 3 to 7, 2011
Richmond is a Port of Call for the World’s Classic Tall Ships
Maritime Heritage
A century ago, the biggest and fastest sailing ships from all over the world came to Steveston’s bustling Cannery Row in Richmond to load much desired cargos of Pacific salmon for international markets. Today, Richmond’s Steveston Harbour remains Western Canada’s largest commercial fishing port. It is also home to several significant maritime heritage sites, including two national historic sites, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, and the Britannia Heritage Shipyard Park.
The City of Richmond celebrates its maritime heritage, through a number of special events, including visits by some of the world’s great tall ships, festivals and maritime heritage restoration and preservation projects and programs.
Tall Ships Richmond 2011
Experience the majesty of the sails as the tall ships return to Richmond from June 3 to 7, 2011.
Along a three kilometre riverfront of the historic Steveston Harbour, this four-day land and sea festival will celebrate Richmond’s rich maritime history and multiculturally-diverse community.
Highlights of event include:
- triumphant parade of sails as the mighty ships arrive
- ship boarding and viewing
- waterside tours
- live music and entertainment
- artisans and farmers markets
- fireworks
- cultural displays and activities
- youth sail training
Tall Ships Festival 2002
In 2002, the Tall Ships from around the world returned to historic Steveston for Richmond Tall Ships 2002, a five-day celebration of maritime history and culture. An estimated 400,000 people turned out to greet a majestic fleet of Tall Ships from Europe, Asia and the Americas visiting Richmond from August 8 to 12, 2002. The Tall Ships were the centrepiece of a major, maritime-themed festival featuring fun and affordable activities for the entire family.
The City’s success in staging the festival was recognized through a number of awards including the Port of the Year Award from the American Sail Training Association, Tourism BC’s 2003 award for Best Tourism Marketing Campaign and the 2002 Gateway Award from Tourism Richmond.
Kaiwo Maru Visits Richmond in 2004
The tall ships returned to the shores of Richmond again in the summer of 2004 . Japans Kaiwo Maru, translated as the King of the Ocean, one of the world’s largest tall ships at a length of 110.9 metres (361-feet), made a four-day visit to Richmond in July, 2004. The Kaiwa Maru’s visit thrilled enthusiastic crowds who lined up for free public tours and an awe-inspiring demonstration of the crew’s sail rigging skills.
SV Concordia Visits Britannia Shipyard
July and August, 2004 also featured a visit to Richmond by the SV Concordia, a well-loved tall ship, that spends 10 months of the year sailing the seven seas, while offering sail training to high school students. The 57-metre (188-foot) Concordia spent three weeks based at Richmond’s Britannia Heritage Shipyard. Hundreds of youths and other sailing fans were able to take part in hand-on day sails, for a once in a lifetime experience of helping to sail a magnificent tall ship.
Maritime Festival
The inaugural Richmond Maritime Festival was launched in August, 2004 at Britannia Heritage Shipyards. A tribute to wooden boats and other classic ships, the event featured displays of unique and historic vessels, entertainment maritime-related displays and activities. The Festival is planned to be an annual celebration of maritime heritage.
More to Come
Additional visits by Tall Ships and other special maritime events are currently being planned. For more information contact the Britannia Heritage Shipyard at 604-718-8050 or britannia@richmond.ca

The event will commence at 1 p.m. with a number of community groups and neighbourhood schools volunteering their time and energy to help with invasive plant removal and tree planting. Various tree species will be planted including: cottonwood, shore pine, Douglas fir, vine maple and pacific crab apple.
The official celebration will kick off at 5 p.m. with drumming circles, organic food displays, and sustainable art activities. Everyone is welcome.
Other Earth Day celebrations in the City are offered by the Hamilton and East Richmond Community Associations on Saturday, April 16, and by the Thompson Community Association on Wednesday, April 20. Please pre-register for these events.
