The fire at Symons Valley Farmer's Market late last week hurt many businesses including some from Airdrie.

While many are able to salvage what they have with insurance coverage, others weren't so lucky.

"Everything I had in terms of inventory was at Symons Valley Farmer's Market," says Shawnna from Airdrie's 1 Cup Coffee Club, "Some of the vendors had coverage, some like myself didn't. Some of the policies recently changed and I actually haven't been able to implement my own yet."

Regardless of the fire, Shawnna says she's confident the independent business community and loyal customers will rally to help.

"Customers are contacting and showing support or wanting to make sure that we'll be able to get up and running again and as soon as we are, they're ready to support us again."
