Kootenay Events Collective

Gather, create, celebrate.

We are expert event managers, having run hundreds of events across the region over the past five years: music shows, conferences, weddings and celebrations of life, impact festivals, and adventure gatherings. KEC grew out of KLIC on a simple model, we operate, partners own: handling operations, fundraising and marketing while revenue flows back to the venues and communities who host us. If you want to run an event, perform, or host us on your land, this is your home base.

Technology Programs

Sovereign technology, built by hand.

We run practical programs in locally owned, decentralized technology: intelligent systems you control, robotics you can touch, and open-source infrastructure built by the people who use it. Everything runs on independent Kootenay OS infrastructure, not a corporate cloud, so the tools stay accountable to this community, not a shareholder somewhere else. Whether you are a student looking for hands-on experience, a developer wanting to work outside the big-tech bubble, or a business looking to pilot new tools on your own terms, there is a program for you. Come build the future with healthy and resilient living.

Kaslo Co-living · Regenerative Communities

Want to move here but can't find anything to buy or rent?

We are building Regenerative Villages and Living Labs in the Kootenays: shared land, shared infrastructure, healthy and affordable mountain living. Crushing the cost of living while taking real climate action. This work runs through Future Villages, our regenerative communities partner program spanning the Kootenays and beyond.
