“All failure is failure to adapt, all success is successful adaptation.”― Max McKeown

A lot has changed since 1985 when we launched the premier edition of Kootenay Business magazine. One thing we have learned from covering successful entrepreneurs throughout the Kootenays over the years is that the ones willing to be flexible and change are the ones that have stayed successful. Now, Kootenay Business is keeping up with our forward-thinking readers and following their example with a big change of our own. Kootenay Business has decided to move into the future by becoming a digital-only publication.

Today, everyone has a mobile device and can access information on their interests within arm’s reach. For our mobile readers, that means we can now provide you with the latest news from Kootenay Business wherever you are. While we know many of you still enjoy getting the magazine in the mail, the majority of our advertisers are moving their budget to digital distribution, and Kootenay Business has decided to follow that trend.

Here are some questions that you may have about Kootenay Business:
