Lake of the Woods Business Incentive Corporation (LOWBIC), Kenora

In 1994, Mike and Lisa Lyle came to LOWBIC for start-up assistance and opened the Kenora Massage & Wellness Centre, operating in a modest “one room and a closet” in downtown Kenora. 

In 1997, after having moved to a slightly larger facility, they came back to LOWBIC for financing to renovate their home to accommodate their business.  After 10 years, they moved their expanding business to a storefront location in downtown Kenora. 

Two years later, they had the opportunity to purchase the building and, once again, LOWBIC was happy to assist them in this endeavour.  Their building is now home to five other small businesses and the Kenora Massage & Wellness Centre continues to prosper, offering massage therapy, reflexology, bio-feedback, infrared therapy along with body care and wellness products.
