Bannock Point Development and Enhancement

Bannock Point Development and Enhancement

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, during our first three years of operation, we focussed on local job creation, a safer community, and stewardship of our landbase. Over $1,300,000 was brought into the Community of the Slocan Valley and many jobs were created. 2012 will see us focus on continuing our investment in wildland-urban interface work with a $400,000 investment grant going toward 47 Hectares of Land between the Village of Silverton and the Red Mountain Resident area. We will also begin harvesting some trees in the southern portion of our landbase. Please browse our website and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us

Local Business Worth a Look

SIFCo-What-Knot-Works

Over the past 30 years What Knot Works has been creating hand-crafted and hand-painted woodwork. Barry and Sally Lamare worked together in their Slocan Valley shops first in Perry Siding and then in New Denver producing a wide variety of wooden products until Barry’s recent passing. Sally continues to make and paint her well known personalized name hangings, magnets, wall hangings, housewares, toy vehicles, signs, furniture and one-of-a-kind artistic pieces. Her products can be found at the Craft Connection in Nelson, the Raven’s Nest Gallery in New Denver and other shops in British Columbia. Sally states that she loves being touched by the spirit of wood and therefore continues to pursue her passion. Mail and special orders are available upon request.
