Gone are the days when all customers and prospects were lumped together into one homogeneous mass, and due to the ever-increasing consumer demand for relevant and unique marketing content, the strive for personalization will only accelerate in the future.

About the Owners
Steve & Julie McCaughey
Steve founded KLC 3 years ago and has enjoyed meeting many of the towns people in his home of Creston, BC , Canada. He is joined in business with his life partner Julie. They have three adult children and moved here from Abbotsford, BC 3 years ago. Previously Steve spent many years in Quality Control, Finishing Carpentry, and Floorcovering Sales.
He found a new passion once he purchased his first C02 laser in 2020. Beginning with paper and items from local thrift stores he began the tedious journey of learning how to use all the software and hardware.
Make some time and come see what the last three years has brought into the gallery.
What do we do with lasers?
This has to be one of the most asked questions when we are in conversation about our business. I admit it has been a journey to narrow down what part of this industry we would focus on, and it is still developing.
We have found there is a need for products that preserve the memories of lost ones in our lives. So we have made this a focus and provide services that help our customers find meaningful ways to remember both people and pets. We have a line of wooden and acrylic Urns for ashes and we also make placement stones for the cemetery or columbarium.
Most of us have people in our lives that are hard to buy gifts for, right? That is where we come in to help you find the perfect gift for these people. We are able to work with a wide variety of materials to create unique gifts from scratch or simply choose an engravable item from our catalog and we will personalize it for you.
There are also many ways we are able to help various industries. KLC offers ADA signage, leather patches, engraved metal tags, branded goods, and more. We will usually book a 15 minute block of time to discuss the basics of what you have in mind and then Steve goes to work on the creative end to make it.
Testimonials
I went to Kootenay Laser Creations as I wanted to have an address sign designed and made. Steve made the process perfectly simplistic in explanation as well as noting my options with various materials. He was very friendly and professional. His genuine care for the quality of product that he put into my hands was immediately evident. We hung that address sign with humble pride and huge appreciation for Steves' skill at his craft! We will use them again for any and all future laser engraving needs!
