The West Kootenay-Boundary region is full of innovative entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations who have the passion to dream, the courage to pursue those dreams and the dogged determination and willingness to sacrifice what many would not to drive those dream into reality. Now is our chance to recognize and thank those innovative, enterprising businesses and organizations that are driving our community forward.

At the recent KAST Spirit of Innovation Awards, Nelson-based Timely was selected as the West Kootenay's most promising technology start-up.

Demonstrating innovation through research, development and application of software technology, Timely has built the foundation of a global event network that is revolutionizing how people discover, share and create events. Over 30,000 websites have adopted the plug-in in 12 languages, and the system features more than 750,000 upcoming monthly events. 250 WordPress developers have given it a five-star rating, and it has shot to the #1 most downloaded WordPress calendar plugin.

Congratulations Timely
