Share Kootenay Teen Chef Club was an awesome program for my son & niece. The program provided them an opportunity to be creative in the kitchen and learn new skills while coming up with recipes for each of the monthly themed food challenges. Shopping locally and utilizing the fresh food available at the Market was a great inspiration while also teaching them how to stay within their budget. on Facebook Share Kootenay Teen Chef Club was an awesome program for my son & niece.

Share As a member of the Kootenay Brain Injury Association I find the groups they offer to be really beneficial. I like that the groups bring people and services together that I wouldn’t have access to otherwise. I appreciate the company for working with people as they are and accepting them. I like that we get to socialize, and they provide me with good information on how to problem solve. We get insight from the groups and we learn from each other. Kootenay Brain Injury Association also helps me access other services within the community. - Vince S. on Facebook Share As a member of the Kootenay Brain Injury Association I find the groups they offer to be really beneficial.

Share My four children attend Rossland Summit School and I often volunteer in the school cafeteria. This is such an important service to the school community - providing healthy lunch options (and sometimes the only lunch option) to students and staff. It is a shame how much waste there is with our current limitations. The ability to provide nutritious food in a sustainable manner will allow us to continue providing this benefit without harming our surroundings. on Facebook Share My four children attend Rossland Summit School and I often volunteer in the school cafeteria.

Share The Kootenay Brain Injury Association programs have been very helpful in providing supports to my brother who has recently moved here to live with us in the Kootenays. He particularly enjoys the Wednesday support group held in Trail where he gets to interact with others having ABI, likes the variety in presentations (Art, Music, Fun Physiotherapy etc) and the lunch provided is always a hit with him. on Facebook Share The Kootenay Brain Injury Association programs have been very helpful in providing supports to my brother who has recently moved here to live with us in the Kootenays.

Share My son participated in the kootenay teen chef club last year and loved it. He was excited to go to the market each time and find new foods, learn how pumpkin pie is made form scratch, try new mushrooms, etc. He has continued to try his skills out with cooking once a week for the family. He (and the rest of us) are looking forward to seeing it back again this summer. Please and thank you! on Facebook Share My son participated in the kootenay teen chef club last year and loved it.
