West Kelowna corner store demonstrates how community can be built in unexpected spaces | iNFOnews

(MARSHALL JONES - MANAGING EDITOR / iNFOnews.ca) May 23, 2021 - 5:00 PM When a Glenrosa area corner store closed down earlier this spring, the frustration from area residents was palpable. “It actually was a bit surprising,” said Graham O’Leary, president of the Glenrosa Residents Association, reflecting on the outpouring of comments and complaints on social media. Last Mountain Market was the only store for the roughly 4,500 residents in the West Kelowna neighbourhood, selling candy and household staples for years out of a small rundown commercial space near Glenrosa Elementary school. The building was sold, the market was evicted and there went the only place many could walk to grab a litre of milk, or whatever was needed, without having to drive into town. Basically, it was a big part of the community.
