Dwight’s Coffee House is serving homemade bannock and soup, cinnamon buns, scones, fresh coffees and espressos; but it’s also brewing hope and inspiration by transforming a family’s grief into a source of unity and strength.
The new coffee shop opened earlier this week on Central Avenue in downtown Prince Albert. It’s named in honour of Gloria Sanderson’s son, Dwight Whitehead, whom she lost to tragic circumstances two years ago.
“My son passed away, and I wanted to do something different. I had a vision to try and inspire and motivate other people, like my granddaughters, women and Indigenous people,” said Sanderson.
