Karrie Peace wants to help people become legendary gift givers.

To do this in the Salmon Arm, she is opening her store, Poor David乌鸦传媒檚.

With locations in Cochrane and Calgary, this will be Peace乌鸦传媒檚 first B.C. Poor David乌鸦传媒檚, situated in the downtown at 190 Hudson St. 乌鸦传媒� the former Victoria Impressions building. Or, going back further, the Bank of Hamilton building, built in 1910.

With a passion for historic downtowns, the building was a perfect fit for Peace.

乌鸦传媒淚n any community in North America you can find strip malls that all look the same, but the historic downtowns are so important because they are places where we do maintain our uniqueness, our individuality 乌鸦传媒� they乌鸦传媒檙e a part of our soul in my opinion,乌鸦传媒� said Peace.

Peace is also passionate about supporting Canadian brands, including Canmore乌鸦传媒檚 Rocky Mountain Soap Company whose products feature prominently along one wall of the Salmon Arm location.
