An open smile on a friendly shore: a love story

Disclaimer: This sponsored content was written and posted in paid-partnership with Cannabission Cannabis Ltd.


This is the tale of two lovers who cruised from the sands of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas to claim their land with the perfect marriage on the shores of Okanagan Lake.

To set the stage, let's take a trip down memory lane by watching the intro to the 1970’s American TV classic, “The Love Boat.”

It was on this original Love Boat that Steven and Shauna Jones’ love story began.

Both working to provide the highest level of service for their clients aboard the already famous cruise ship in the 1990’s, the Englishman and the Canadian fell for one another while sailing the magical blue waters that surround the Abaco Islands.

Clean, friendly and full of life, Abaco holds a special place in Steven and Shauna’s hearts.

Longing for the life full of possibilities back home in Canada, but not willing to give up beautiful beaches all together, the enamored couple set their sights on the gem of this country: Kelowna, BC, where they set anchor in 2005.

With the new beginning came the opportunity to start something of their own, a dream of Steven’s since he was a young lad. It wasn’t long before the flag was planted in the sand and Abaco Health Foods claimed its land in the Lower Mission.

Welcomed with open arms by the locals of the land, the health food store combined the Jones’ roots in the Bahamas with their expertise in Nutritional Medicine to provide us all with a little piece of paradise.

For years, locals would visit asking for CBD products to help them with pain or sleeping, but Abaco Health Foods was not the place.

With the legalization of cannabis pending and the space next door vacant, the Jones’ saw an opportunity for the perfect marriage.

Gone were the days of travelling far and wide to gather their cannabis products and on were the familiar smiles of the Jones’ to serve them.

Like the Love Boat, Cannabission promises something for everyone—everyone 19+ that is. Home to more than 100 different strains of flower and outstanding customer service, locals can trust the educated sailors at Cannabission to steer them in the right direction.

Curious to see exactly what Cannabission has to offer? The live inventory menu allows you to see what is available in-store at any time. If you find what you’re looking for, you can even add it to your cart to reserve your products in store where they will be ready for pick-up.

When on a mission to claim your own piece of Okanagan sand, stop into Cannabission on your way to the lake to pick up one of the ice cold THC infused beverages which have been extremely popular throughout this summer season.
