It's always this building...

I hope everyone is safe. I don't see any news yet, but likely the building where the 13yr old died not too long ago off Kenmore.

Trick or treating?

Hi folks, I’m new to the Roger’s park area. Is there a specified time to expect trick or treaters? Thanks!

Protest at Insomnia Cookies

JOIN US!!

This demonstration is in response to the inhumane treatment of staff, particularly following (but not limited to) the tragic shooting incident on Monday, October 28, where one of the victims sought refuge in the store. It remains unclear whether a thorough hazmat cleaning has been conducted in the store for the blood after the shooting incident, raising further alarm about reopening which is also allegedly being today and/or tomorrow, thus the sudden cause of the protest today. Corporate is aware that staff within the store attempted their best to clean the blood with towels to the best of their ability while suffering from the traumatic event. Corporate wanted the staff to remain open following the shooting however, store management made the determination to close. Additionally, there are growing concerns among the staff regarding safety, due to an increased incidences of staff being harassed and assaulted by members of the public over the last year. There has been ongoing requests to Insomnia Cookies’ corporation by the store team for a safer work environment without results — the staff feels very uncomfortable and unsafe returning to work and fear retaliation. We have been urging the corporate team to prioritize the well-being of their employees and the community during this critical time yet there has been silence from them, as well as avoidance. There are legal representations being involved now for this matter on behalf of certain employees within the store, as well as OSHA being contacted. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter!!
