Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine rose up from the impacts of a global pandemic and has launched the Winter 2020/21 edition. Appropriately, it’s the “Phoenix Issue.”

We are particularly proud to bring forth the 38th issue of Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine this winter because there was a time, earlier this year, when we didn’t know whether there would ever be a next issue. The global pandemic impacted our advertisers and our own business in ways we never could have imagined. It’s testimony to the strong community we have in the Kootenays that companies put their faith in us in the form of advertising dollars primarily because we have such a core readership.

And so we present the “Phoenix Issue,” because, as we state in the table of contents: “When you’re beaten down, there’s nowhere left to go but up.” Welcome to the upside.
