Something big is coming to Bridge Interiors… After 28 years, we’re getting ready for a big change - and it’s going to mean incredible opportunities for our customers.

If you’ve been thinking about furniture, appliances, or a new mattress… this is the time! This sale is so big we’re going to need a couple of days to prepare, which means the store will be closed April 22nd and 23rd.

Absolutely everything will be on sale! Plus, we will have a Charity BBQ supporting the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society and Royal Canadian Legion Branch #24.

What a heartwarming way to spend a mid-February Sunday in Kimberley! 🎶✨

We are still smiling after a wonderful afternoon at the Kimberley Shared Ministry. The Kimberley Community Choir, under the direction of Marta Zeegers, generously offered a "For the Love of Music" benefit concert to give back to the congregation that hosts their weekly rehearsals.

It was an incredible performance—40 singers, talented musicians, and even puppets filled the sanctuary with songs ranging from comedic to deeply moving. The audience even joined in with great gusto! 🎤

In a truly touching display of community spirit, the Kimberley Shared Ministry decided to pass the proceeds of this concert along to us at the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society. These funds will go directly toward our future Hospice Home for the East Kootenays.

📸 Below is Zena Williams, a CKHS volunteer, accepting a cheque for $1,183.30 from Linda Johnson (Kimberley Shared Ministry) and Marta Zeegers (Kimberley Community Choir).

We are so incredibly grateful for this donation. Contributions like this bring us one step closer to providing a dedicated space for compassionate care in our region. Thank you to the choir for their talent, the church for their generosity, and everyone who attended for their support! ❤️
