Business developments in the Kootenays…
Kootenay Business magazine 1989
As Kootenay Business magazine celebrates 25 years of publishing, we take a moment to reflect on some of the noteworthy business highlights we have documented over the last quarter decade including milestones in our own history.
February 1989:
Kootenay Business profiles “Kootenay Gold” Creston’s most famous product from the vats of Columbia Brewery. Over 12 million gallons of beer are produced annually. Businesses are encouraged to list their fax numbers in the Kootenay Business Fax Directory.
January 1990:
Kootenay Business debuts first glossy cover, but its still newsprint inside. The Outlook 2000 edition documented the uncertainties about the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the NAFTA free trade agreement.
