Who's Your Kootenay Game Changer?

The third annual Kootenay Game Changer awards are taking place this September at St. Eugene Mission, to celebrate those in our communities truly making a difference and having an impact.

Last year, several organizations and individuals were nominated from the Fernie area including the Fernie Seniors Citizen Drop in Centre, Fernie Chautauqua, Emily Brydon Youth Foundation, and Mary Giuliano. The Emily Brydon Youth Foundation won its category, with a very humbled Rosemary Brydon accepting on behalf of the organization.

Voting opened May 1, 2018 and continues through the end of July on the e-know website here! Let's celebrate those in our community and the communities that surround us who make us the strong region we are known for.
