Get Involved
The Kootenay Wellness Festival is built by community. It’s shaped by the facilitators who generously share their skills and creativity, the volunteers who help the weekend run with care and ease, and the local businesses and organizations who bring their offerings, support, and heart. Together, these contributions create a welcoming environment where people of all ages and abilities can learn, connect, and feel at home. Every part of the festival — from the programming to the shared spaces to the small moments of kindness throughout the weekend — exists because of the people who choose to be part of it.
