If you had to ask someone in Kelowna where Reid's Corner is, you were exposed as a newcomer. It's an area known by the words alone — there are no maps, no signs and typically very little information to help you find it, not that it's a secret.
The City of Kelowna has finally changed that, not with a street sign or road name, but a recently erected concrete sign with the words 'Reid's Corner' at the corner of Highway 97 and Sexsmith Road.
But it turns out both the City of Kelowna — and most residents — had the name wrong. The new sign honours a pioneer family that built a grocery store and gas station called 'Reid’s Corners' in 1921.
