Our Membership

Membership in the Kootenay Collective is open to federally licensed producers located within the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, with eligibility confirmed by the licensed facility's civic address. Members must also be recognized as a Certified Living Wage Employer in British Columbia, reflecting the Collective’s commitment to regional economic integrity.

Only members may use the Kootenay Collective Badge, and it may be applied only to qualifying lots grown, processed, and packaged at eligible Kootenay facilities. The model is intentionally inclusive at the membership level, with disciplined, lot-level controls on badge use.
