A cove is considered a safe harbour in a storm.

“Bro’s Cove” in Cranbrook is no different.

The men’s consignment store opened in September 2018 and is run by the Kootenay Initiative Program (KIP), one of Interior Health’s Community Mental Health Programs. It offers support and training for men with mental illness.
