The Beginning

In the spring of 2002 we bought the lot on the corner of 6th Street and Main Ave in Sundre, Alberta. We formed a small company to build and operate this building.

Sod Turning

It was a family affair, four generations were there to celebrate the start of a new chapter in the town and for our family.

The Building

Upon completion of the building on February 15, 2003, Valerie occupied the top floor, Bay 201, with her accounting firm.
An optometrist moved into Bay 102 on April 15, 2003. There have been a few owners of the optometry office but it still remains today.
Wish Upon a Star, a flower and gift shop, moved into Bay 101 on February 16, 2004. In 2012 the flower shop closed and Camelot Books opened. This business closed in 2018 and Bay 101 is now home to our MLA Jason Nixon.
