Our Footprints Eco Store & Refillery VK Accelerate Participant

Deena Aspinall, a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, relocated to Kamloops in 2010. Driven by her desire to make a positive impact on both people and the environment, Deena purchased Our Footprints store in October of 2022. Transitioning from healthcare to entrepreneurship, she saw Our Footprints as the ideal venture to pursue her passion for helping others by recommending environmentally friendly products and promoting a lifestyle with less waste.
"Venture Kamloops has been an invaluable resource for me as I enter the world of entrepreneurship without a business background," says Deena. "The support and guidance offered by VK, particularly in handling business-related questions and conducting cost analysis, have been instrumental in my journey. I am excited to fully utilize the support and resources available within the Venture Kamloops community."
