Last night there was a fire around 10pm on West 41st Avenue on the south side of the street. Sadly five businesses were lost, some residents displaced and neighbouring businesses without power and potentially with smoke damage. Our side of the block was not directly affected. We reminds us the large blaze in 2017 when seven businesses were lost.  We are very fortunate to have been spared.  https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/10/02/vancouver-kerrisdale-fire-damages-businesses/amp/

Our longtime gelato provider, Dolce Amore, experienced an early morning fire on August 22nd that has temporarily destroyed their premises.   A GoFundMe page was created to help begin the process to rebuild. We encourage the many fans of Dolce Amore's wonderful gelati and sorbetti to consider contributing to help them rebuild.
