Business

Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) today announced it has broken ground on its zero-carbon office building in Sparwood, BC. The new 121,500-square foot facility will bring together approximately 580 Teck employees in the Elk Valley into one sustainable new space.

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:

Behold Beauty
1142 Matevic Rd Sparwood 
250-421-3698

Behold Beauty started in 2017 as a part time venture while owner Michelle Stasiuk was finishing her bachelor of business administration in sustainable business practice. Once completed, Behold quickly moved into a multi-service home esthetic studio. After a short 11-month hiatus Michelle is back to what she loves; making others feel good about themselves by enhancing their natural beauty. 

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.
