In direct response to input from community members, Wildsight Elk Valley’s social enterprise Local is excited to announce extended opening hours. After a recent survey which drew participation from over 90 local residents, they are pleased to adjust Local’s schedule with the aim to make fresh locally-produced food available to more members of the Elk Valley community this Harvest season.

Launched August 22nd, their new opening schedule is as follows:

The alluring aromas of fresh bread, doughnuts and artisanal pastries have been wafting through the town of Invermere since Quality Bakery opened in 1956. Over the decades, the bakery has changed hands a couple of times, and been redubbed the Invermere Bakery. Most recently, in 2021 it became the property of its now-current owner, Theo Walta—a dream fulfilled with help from the Trust.

With the help of The Community Foundation of the Kootenay Rockies (CFKR) and the Columbia Basin Trust, the Fernie Mountain Market will be able to run the Power of Produce (PoP) Club this year! After a few years of hiatus, it is with great pleasure that Wildsight Elk Valley is working with the Fernie Mountain Market to make this program a reality.
