CIR is Alberta Proud | Episode 5 - Chinook Honey Company
As part of our #cirisalbertaproud campaign, we introduce you to Alberta owned and operated Chinook Honey Company! Located in Okotoks, this apiary, of course, produces honey but also its own honey products such as wine! You can also get down and sticky with Chinook Honey Company with education programs during the weekend.
As an Alberta born, owned and operated business, CIR understands how crucial it is to our economy to shop local and reinvest our money into the businesses that support the people who live and raise families here. Help us support our fellow Albertan's by choosing to do the same!
