Made in the Okanagan supports the local creative economy and is a business and community development incubator, which works to implement environmentally sustainable economic solutions that emphasize better prosperity for art, craft and community food producers.
Based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Made in the Okanagan works to develop business and community strategies that will enhance our region's role nationally and internationally within the fields of quality handmade art and fine craft and locally grown safe foods.
The mission of the Okanagan Institute
is to contribute to
the quality of creative engagement in the Okanagan through publications and events.
Made in the Okanagan is powered by the Watershed Intelligence Network and the Okanagan Institute. Made in the Okanagan and the Okanagan Geotourism Initiative are also helped by activist students and people like you.
The Watershed Intelligence Network delivers Extension Services for Wildcraft Forest School. Extension Services can be described as an organized exchange of information and the deliberate transfer of skills where students apply work, research, advocacy, stewardship and problem solving within bioregions, communities and ecosystems. This effort helps to facilitate interplay and nurture synergies within a vast complex of capacity building efforts, which then enables change in individuals, communities, cooperatives and enterprise.
Watershed is driven by a mission of environmental sustainability and stewardship. Our efforts are supported by many individuals, businesses, organizations and communities who collectively become the Watershed Intelligence Network.
