I fall in love with people over instagram. I know that social media feeds like instagram get a bad rap for selfie overload, for encouraging narcissism, or envy and depression thanks to such inaccurate presentations of people's lives. But you don't have to follow that stuff. And, I like seeing the world through someone else's … Continue reading Amie Le Blanc is taking over our instagram account today for the week
We spent every Friday for a good part of 2015 scouring instagram for great local feeds and perspectives to share. And it was so fun. And then, we remembers, WE have an instagram account. Gary Martin started it off for us back more than two years ago. It was an experiment in connecting with people … Continue reading We’re getting our instagram on.

This was inspired by local mama and creative soul, Lindy Scott. And by this blog post I read last week: "Why You Should Trade Your Bucket List for a F*ck It list." (I had to click.) Actually, the tweet that got me was a bit more G-rated: Nice read on how to make the best … Continue reading It’s the perfect time of year to start a memory jar
Great to see the folks behind PAWS getting their instagram on. PAWS is Pemberton's own animal rescue shelter, developed to provide support and relief to local animals in need. The shelter runs solely on donations provided by the community, and relies on dedicated volunteers to keep it going. Almost every week another stray puppy or … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton welcome PAWS
Tourism Pemberton's instagram account is almost 100% curated - which means that they basically trawl through instagram for the best photos of Pemberton, the most stunning images, the coolest snapshots of the season, the iconic scenes, and anything tagged #tourismpembertonbc... It's pretty much a labour of love for Roy McClean of Custom Fit Communications, the … Continue reading Tag #tourismpembertonbc and share your take on the ‘hood with @tourismpembertonbc’s instagram community
I'm a bit of a farm groupie, ICMYI - red tractors, flowering fields, rubber boots and piles of freshly harvested vegetables are my kind of eye-candy, so I had to give a shout-out to North Arm Farm for their delectable instagram feed. It's a bit of an undiscovered gem of an instagram account, and Emma … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton: check out @northarmfarm
It doesn't get more "wellness" than having to shake the dirt off your carrots and knowing your grower. So we're stoked that Michelle Beks, Wellness Almanac contributor, has started instagramming for Shaw Creek Farm. Michelle lives up the Valley on the 3rd generation family farm, (find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Shawcreekfarm), where she and husband … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton features @shawcreekfarm
You'd think, from his instagram account, that Gary Martin always has his head in the clouds. Having seen the way he tackles a training plan or a design job, I know that's not true, but I still wanted to ask him if he's like obsessive compulsive or something. What do you like about Instagram? I've … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton: featuring @garypmartin
@firstnationphotographer posts to instagram every day, and it is beautiful. It's not a local account, so I'm bending my rules a little bit, but I think it's justifiable, because they're my rules to bend or break, and because I secretly hope to plant a seed that will inspire Lil'wat Nation members to pick up cameras … Continue reading Instagram feature: Melody Charlie is @firstnationphotographer
With Slow Food Cycle Sunday imminent, (it's this Sunday, in case you missed the memo), it seemed appropriate to feature a foodie instagram account, as part of our follow Friday instagram feature. It doesn't get much more Slow Foodie than Pemberton's Mile One Eating House - they'll even be dishing up burgers at the Millerd/Mitchell/Kuurne … Continue reading Instagrammers of Pemberton, we present @MileOneEatingHouse
