Independent fibre. Deep roots. Mountain sports. Epic music. A coworking, engagement and community hub in Kaslo, BC, where bioregional resilience and regenerative living are the operating system.
Land before leverage. People before platforms. In a mountain village of about 1,000 people, we are building the independent infrastructure a region needs to house, feed, power and connect itself.
A central home for entrepreneurs, freelancers, non-profits and remote teams, with monthly events that bring the whole community together.
Mountain living & relocation
Tired of big-city overhead? Kaslo pairs an exceptional quality of life with a growing network of technology professionals and infrastructure that punches well above its size.
Affordable living, supernatural surroundings, a real community, and independent gigabit internet, so you never compromise on connectivity. Planning a move or a remote outpost? Come talk to us.
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.
It all runs on independent Kootenay OS infrastructure, not a corporate cloud, so the tools answer to this community, not to a shareholder somewhere else.
Community & culture · Kootenay Events Collective
We are expert event managers, with 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. We handle operations, fundraising and marketing, and revenue flows back to the venues and communities who host us. Want to run an event, perform, or host us on your land? Start here.
We are building Regenerative Villages and Living Labs in the Kootenays. Crushing the cost of living while taking real climate action. This work runs through Future Villages, our regenerative communities partner program across the Kootenays and beyond.
Resilience is not one project. It is housing, food, energy, mobility, water and resource recovery working as one living system, the way a forest does. We support local non-profits on each, starting with housing.
Supporting the Kaslo Housing Society.
Growing and storing more of what we eat, closer to home.
Local generation that keeps the lights on.

Clean water systems held in community hands.
Waste turned back into resources. The loop closes.
