A family that fled war in #Syria and settled in #Sooke seven years ago wants to build a ­#BowlingAlley and #restaurant in the ­community.

Luis Almhanna said the ­proposal will see 12 to 16 ­bowling lanes with a bar and pizza place on the ground floor and a Mediterranean-style ­restaurant on a second floor.

The family is expected to take their plans to Sooke ­council in September to rezone a ­single-family home property at 6727 West Coast Rd., close to the #OtterPoint Road intersection and Sooke’s core.

Almhanna said the family is holding an #InformationSession for public input and feedback on what they would like to see in the project. It takes place on Sunday, between 10 a.m. and noon at 2365 Church Rd. That’s the site of the Almhannas’ other business, Homeyland Daycare.
