Oliver Exchange
When the Oliver Exchange building showed up, it changed the entire Wîhkwêntôwin neighbourhood for the better. Come for a coffee at cozy Iconoclast, stay for a pint of local craft beer at Odd Company, and then pick up something from the Brio Bakery before you go. The renovated historical telephone exchange recently had a second building added, and the complex has a little something for everyone. Among the indie businesses that populate the building is a Culina take-out lunch counter and Kind Ice Cream shop. It’s all based at the historic West End Telephone Exchange building which was originally built in 1913. A true neighbourhood gem right on the 102ave bike lane - take your snacks and have a picnic in the showstopping Paul Kane Park just up the street.
