Fire Destroys Former Kaleidoscope Market Building

emergency · October 8, 2019 · Downtown Denman Island

On October 8, 2019, a fire completely destroyed the former Kaleidoscope Market building in downtown Denman Island. The building, constructed in 1992/93 and previously housing various businesses including Rawganique, was evacuated and the downtown area closed to traffic during the fire response.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
