Our Story

Living as a Kootenay-Canadian makes one privy to one of the most unique cultures this side of Canada. There’s an easiness the locals describe as dirt-baggery in this part of the world. It’s a celebration of friendships, adventures, curiosities and free time over busy-ness and material aspirations.

Folks in the Kootenays are resourceful, friendly, and a bit gritty. The Shed pays homage to the lifestyle of those that have lived here and that do live here. If you’ve been here long enough you’ve probably ended up at a party in a backyard shed. Your unlaced Sorels propped up on a proudly arranged stack of dry larch, an icy can of beer in hand, and anything from AC/DC to Jack Johnson playing on the stereo. At The Shed everyone is welcome as they are. We’ll do our best to be as evocative of a party with your neighbours in a Kimberley backyard as possible. Let’s celebrate the values of Kootenay culture, it’s a pretty darn good one.
