Meet the Team

About Dawn

I moved to Rossland in 1997 to work in the industry of Ski Tourism. Prior to living in the West Kootenays, I studied to become a Dietitian, and worked as a treeplanter and a ski instructor at Mt Buller, Australia. When my children were young, I found an opportunity that satisfied both my entrepreneurial drive and my interest in food science!

I decided to follow my passion and make the jump

In 2008, I bought Bear Country Kitchen and with the support of the community, I haven’t looked back. I am a trail runner and skier and include ‘speaking dog’ as one of my superpowers. I enjoy adventure travel and sourcing hard to find unique items for my store.
