Our hearts go out to the D Dutchmen Dairy family and their team during this incredibly difficult time. As an iconic business that has been woven into the fabric of our community for generations, they have touched the lives of so many. This heartbreaking loss is being felt by many across our community. Wishing them strength, comfort, and the support of a caring community in the days ahead.💙

Update: A big thank you to the Swansea point fire department who was also there helping to put out the fire. We missed them in our original post and wanted to make sure they know how grateful we are for their service to the community. ❤️

Fire Update
Last night our family experienced one of a farm families worst nightmares.
At around 1am we had a structure fire that devastated three structures.

The main details at this time:
All of our family is safe.

The Sicamous Fire Department, Malakwa Fire Department and Swansea point Fire Department did an incredible job reducing the spread.

There was significant structure loss.

Worst of all, we lost our babies. Approximately 40 calves, 6 months and under.
In the words of my mom “my babies are gone. They are all gone”.
Our animals are not just a number, they are loved, they all have names. My son has hugged, kissed and pet them all.

Please keep your distance from our farm at this time. The fire department continues to maintain the scene. The cow barn remains and we were able to start milking this morning.

*Please give my parents some time before contacting them. We are still in a state of shock and there are still many moving parts.*

Bianca ❤️

The Silver Creek Community Hall has been a cornerstone of this close-knit farming community for a century. But did you know that the hall’s story goes even deeper?
Before the current building was constructed, the community gathered in an original hall built in 1905, making the site a gathering place for over 120 years!
Run today by the Silver Creek Community Association, the hall continues to be a vibrant hub, hosting events like the beloved Silver Creek Coffeehouse, live music, and the children’s Craft and Movie Nights during the winter months.

With SASCU Community Impact Term Deposit, SASCU donates an additional quarter percent back to community halls in the Shuswap.
A guaranteed return for you. A lasting impact for the Shuswap. Ready to invest in both?
🗓️ Open yours before October 1, 2026.
