A regional chapter of the BC + AI Ecosystem Association.

Comox Valley AI is where the Valley's AI conversation is being built: local, practical, skeptical, creative, and human.

This is a chance to back the room while it is still becoming itself. Not ad inventory. Not a logo swap. A way to help keep the local AI conversation useful, accessible, and grounded in the people who actually live here.

Who We Are

BC + AI Ecosystem Association is a registered BC nonprofit building community-driven AI spaces across British Columbia.

Comox Valley AI is the regional chapter for Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Campbell River, and the wider Island. The chapter is currently co-led by Kris Krüg, Steve Jones, Colin Fitzgerald, and Mel DiPietro.

Colin Fitzgerald has joined as a sponsor.

Why Comox Valley

The Valley already has signal:

• Educators thinking past the usual cheating-versus-tools debate.
• Artists and creative workers testing AI without surrendering taste.
• Builders and operators working on practical automation, local infrastructure, and small useful systems.
• Parents, public servants, founders, farmers, students, and skeptics asking what these tools mean for real life.
• A room that can hold curiosity and critique at the same time.

Comox Valley AI gives those people a regular place to meet, compare notes, and build local trust before the conversation gets swallowed by hype, panic, or sales decks.
