There's a new community band store and cafe coming to Klemtu! 🥳 The Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation is opening a new enlarged shopping facility that will service mariners travelling up and down the coast. The new facility, 1/3 larger than the previous store, will offer hot meals, coffee, expanded groceries and Wi-Fi, and will be open as of June 29.

“With our modern First Nations Fuel station and the new store just steps away, captains can now manage refueling, grocery provisioning, and crew dining in a single, efficient stop.”

Congrats to the Kitasoo Xai'xais Development Corporation on this huge accomplishment!
