Why is Air Canada cancelling flights before a strike actually happens?
Talks between Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants are continuing ahead of an imminent strike or lockout. But the carrier is preemptively cancelling flights even before a strike begins. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Air Canada says it has served the company with a 72-hour strike notice, while advising members the airline has issued its own plan to lock out employees early Saturday morning. The carrier said it will begin cancelling flights as early as Thursday because 'sudden or unmanaged work stoppages produce a significantly worse disruption to travel than a planned suspension of flying.' The airline is planning to pause all flight operations by Saturday. 3:13 Union crash Air Canada news conference 'This approach will help limit the strike's impact by allowing as many customers as possible to complete their journeys. But importantly, they will also help facilitate an orderly restart which under the best circumstances will take a full week to complete,' Air Canada COO Mark Nasr said at a press conference on Thursday. Story continues below advertisement 'By the end of the day Thursday we'll (have) several dozen cancellations, and by the end of the day Friday, around about 500 cancellations (based) on the current plan,' he added. Why cancel is talks are still on? Experts say this puts control in the hands of the airline.

It may happen as a response to a strike notice or other business decisions, but ultimately, it is something within the carrier's control,' said Gabor Lukacs, president of the advocacy group Air Passenger Rights. Lukacs said an airline may even have 'business considerations like the cost of parking an aircraft somewhere or the cost of hotels for employees who may be stranded if they were to operate the flight.' Some experts argue that it helps an airline prevent 'chaos' from ensuing. Story continues below advertisement 'Airlines may preemptively cancel or suspend flights to prevent chaos, manage operational capacity, and reduce safety risks,' said Peter Follows, CEO of Toronto-based consulting firm Carpedia International, which works with clients in several industries including transportation. 'A planned stop makes it easier to coordinate resources, inform staff, and implement contingency plans, minimizing the ripple effect of backlog and delays.' 3:48 Flights cancelled ahead of looming Air Canada strike Air Canada said its systems cannot come to a grinding halt, which is why they plan in anticipation of disruptions. 'Air Canada is a very complex system. It covers over 40,000 employees, (and) over 250 aircraft operating to 200 destinations in over 65 countries. It's simply not the kind of system that we can start or stall at the push of a button,' Nasr said. 'In order to have a safe and orderly wind down, we need to begin now.' Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: "In order to have a safe and orderly wind down, we need to begin now." Story continues below advertisement The wind-down of Air Canada operations started Thursday with long-haul international flights, Nasr added. By Friday, Air Canada will have cancelled flights that affect around 100,000 passengers. A complete halt will affect 130,000 passengers a day, Nasr said. A gradual, preemptive shutdown saves passengers last-minute stress, Follows said. 4:44 Air Canada winds down operations ahead of possible job action 'For passengers, this approach can mean fewer last-minute surprises, though it may ultimately result in more cancellations,' he added. Air Canada said it will work with both Canadian and foreign airlines to arrange alternative travel for its passengers and also offer them refunds. However, passengers are not obligated to accept the refund. 'From Air Canada's perspective, the best outcome in the case of a strike is give you a refund for a flight they cancel and wash their hands from your alternate transportation. Don't fall for that,' Lukacs said. Story continues below advertisement 'If you voluntarily accept a refund, then Air Canada (can) possibly argue, 'A passenger chose a refund (and) we no longer owe them alternate transportation.' But if you say, 'No, I won't accept the refund, give me alternate transportation,' and they fail to do so (or) refuse to do so, they owe you compensation for your alternate transportation costs,' he said.

Indaba Trading makes the leap to bricks-and-mortar retail
Last year the quaint seaside town of Qualicum Beach lost one its most popular home decor shops when the owners relocated out of province. Before they left, they hinted that what would replace their two retail shops within the charming little plaza would not be a disappointment. True to their word, when it was discovered that Indaba Trading bought the two spaces, there was a discernible ripple of excitement throughout the town. While perhaps not a household name, the Indaba brand, a Parksville-based decor wholesaler and online retailer, is sold all over North America and is well known to interior designers — and to those drawn to the brand's easily recognizable, distinctive esthetic. On a recent summer morning, Irene Held and Alison Gillespie, the mother/daughter duo behind Indaba, sat down for a chat over coffee in the sunny courtyard behind their new Indaba Shoppe. Held founded the business as a young mother having recently arrived in Canada from South Africa — hence the name's origin — a Zulu word meaning the gathering of people. The ethos of the business is grounded in an appreciation for the skill and beauty of handcraft. Stay on top of the latest real estate news and home design trends.

'Buying in India, it's very much traditional handcraft. We're obsessed with textiles and India is the mecca for textiles. What people don't understand is what we do is not off the shelf. We don't go to India and say we'll buy this, this and this. Everything is custom made and goes to production.' Even the ceramic pieces that they produce in China are handcrafted. 'The people making our product, it's all handmade still,' Gillespie says. 'People think it doesn't meet our brand values but actually these workshops, it's similar to the Indian product, they've been doing it for thousands of years. It's handmade. You think made-in-China is made by machine but it's not true for all types of products.' Indaba's signature style is a seemingly effortless, relaxed elegance — a sense of almost languid informality but with polish. The textiles in Indaba's collections define that sensibility with the decor accessories being a logical trajectory of that esthetic. 'The subtlety and the relaxed feel — that generally is the theme of what our look is,' Held remarks. 'It's very unfussy. We do have interesting details, and we'll throw in a punch of colour or a little bit of whimsy but primarily it's very easy to live with. It's very easy to integrate, and season to season the new designs follow on from where we were before.' Having launched their online retail shop during COVID, making the leap to a bricks-and-mortar location was a natural progression but, as with most things in life, it came down to the right timing. 'We're always just so busy but it was just in our minds,' Gillespie recalls. 'I do think it was a manifestation in a sense that we were ready for the right location when it presented itself. When we saw Faire Living's Instagram post about moving to Calgary we called and asked right away. They were selling the building, and it just happened.' Gillespie notes that even though their products are in shops all over the U.S. and Canada, the Indaba Shoppe allows them to present the full range of the brand in one place. 'A lot of stores carry our products but it's bits and pieces,' she notes. 'It's bringing our products into their esthetic. It's all our products together.' To complement the Indaba brand, Held and Gillespie have opted to include some local and national makers in the shop, such as the beeswax candle maker Little Mill from Shawnigan Lake, Vancouver's home-and-bath brand Well Kept, and candle and body oil maker Merge from Tofino. The shop will also feature one-of-a-kind items that were developed as samples for a season's collection that for whatever reason didn't make it into production. 'They add a bit of an interesting touch there because you never know what's going to be in there, and those items are not available on the website,' she says. With the view to changing things up either seasonally or from a creative vantage, the Indaba Studio, the second space facing out to the plaza's courtyard, will host various events and give the duo the flexibility to feature different collections. 'It leaves us free to develop the concept of how we're going to have the two shops jive together,' Held observes. Gillespie suggests that perhaps it will be kitchen and dining focused at times, but they have decided to launch with the Christmas collection, likely opening sometime in October. With the two shops opening this year, the duo has plans for events in the courtyard in the future. 'We have lots of ideas. It's just a matter of getting them on a schedule and making it happen,' Gillespie says. Stay tuned.
