1st Curbside Recycling

Heidi Fuerste is a Blackcreek resident who has been frustrated over the years by her constantly overflowing recycling container and lack of service outside town and city limites. Finally she decided to close this service gap so others can break free of the recycling depots and experience the joy of curbside recycling. She also knows the ‘easier it is – the more people will do it’. As her business has grown (it was recently nominated for the Chamber of Commerce ‘Environmental Initiative’ Award) Heidi has discovered even more need for service. She has started bringing the joy of blue boxes to businesses and organizations so they too can do the right thing in an easy way. Business is always picking up.”
Island Gourmet Trails
Operating since summer 2010 this yummy company offers delicious culinary tours of the Comox Valley. The culinary adventures allow participants to meet local producers, taste their products, and share a tasty gourmet picnic showcasing the best of the local products. The tours can be a great way to entertain visitors, out of town guests or clients. They are also an original way to create a team building activity for your business or just a good way to spend the day with friends, learning about the bounty of the Comox valley. Sit back and enjoy a virtual tour with Gaetane (who is also a fully qualified chef).
