Oh wow that's huge. I'm sure there are more options than when I lived there 15 years ago, but I'm guessing not by a whole lot. North Mart was above and beyond everything else by a large margin. Sounds like it held much of the Sea Lift goods too - hopefully that wasn't all destroyed.

This is troubling too:

The fire is one of several blazes — also affecting debris beside the store and multiple vehicles — reported Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, all in the same area.

RCMP, and municipal enforcement and firefighters are all attending to them. The city says 18 firefighters attended five fires, with three of them being car fires.
