Rona is a chain of hardware stores. This store was located at 14815 Bannister Road SE, Calgary, AB, and was built in 1988 as Totem Building Supplies, but was converted into a Rona in the the early 2010s, likely 2014. The store has been closed since January 2020, but the building and fire alarm system are still up. As of October 2020, the building is for lease. As of May 2021, it is currently being used as a COVID-19 testing and vaccine distribution center. The pull stations and one bell and strobe are original.
