The Kootenay Current Helping you discover the best local experiences in the West Kootenay ☀️
Food, activities, events, and more

We are Brett and Karina, and we love finding and sharing fun stuff to do in the West Kootenay! The Kootenay Current was born from us waking up on the weekends in beautiful Nelson, BC and trying to find a fun thing to do with our day. ☀️

Our mission is to help you find the very best local eats, drinks, activities, things to do, events, and local businesses in the Kootenays. If you're a local business that wants to work with us, send us a message or an email!

Here's everything we did on a day trip to Kaslo 🏡☀️🚘

One of our favourite Kootenay getaways, this gem has so much to offer:

Food ✅
Vibes ✅
History ✅

And more incredible nature spots than you can see in one video, but here's some of our favourites 😍

What's your favourite thing to do in Kaslo, and where should we go next?

The patty on this burger tastes exactly like a pork dumpling! The Pork Dumpling Smash Burger from The Nineteenth - sounds great on paper and tastes even better🥟

We also loved the giant panko prawn and the chili crunch! 🌶️🍤 Perfect crunch and the heat was just right😄

Available at The Nineteenth this Burger Month until the 25th 🍔

Time for a lunch visit to Redstone Golf Course for a Clubhouse at The Clubhouse 🏡😉

This Clubhouse sandwich has all the good stuff: yummy smoked turkey, bacon, ham, lettuce, tomato and house sauce — but what we enjoy most is just sitting outside with the green right behind us.

Fresh air, sunshine, a patio table and nowhere we need to be ☀️💁‍♀️🍷

In our books, that's just what you need for a perfect September lunch!

What kind of appies come served on a shot glass? 😋

We tried new Indian street food menu at Tandoori, with dishes like Pani Puri - crispy hollow pastries filled with pomegranates and pineapple, as well as curries, whipped rose desserts, and more🌹

Check it out for your next appy night! 🥂

Hands up if you think Dove Hill is the best view in Castlegar 🙋🤩

Perfect for the morning, a sunset picnic, or an easy walk with a friend, it's a must see (and a great excuse to visit Castlegar!)

Check it out! 🥾

Look at the colours in this bowl! 🌈 Crispy chicken, corn, purple pickled cabbage, and spicy sauce fill up this beautiful Southwest Zest bowl at Redstone Golf Course.

The crispy chicken is INCREDIBLE: a crunchy satisfying contrast to healthy veggies like pickled cabbage and micro greens! 🌱 It's everything I want it to be - a lovely mix of textures and fresh ingredients.

Bonus - the ingredients are all gluten free 💁‍♀️

📍Check out this new bowl at Redstone Golf Course in Rossland
