Our Stories
Meet Kelsey and Destiny, the Bangin' Bannock Founders
Kelsey
My name is Kelsey Coutts, I am Nakazdli Dakelh from my fathers side, and Irish Scottish on my mother's side
I’m on the brink of the fine young age of 31, and currently spending most of my time in Vancouver, BC.
Pre-pandemic, I worked full time as a stagehand, and enjoyed travelling the world as much as possible, Now mostly I enjoy working on my truck, napping, and snacking on cheese. Basically the same thing, right?
I’m a very proud mixed descent, and generally introduce myself (proudly) as a mutt, although there is no doubt the pride and ownership I feel for my Nak’azdli Dakelh blood.
Because of residential school, and the 60s scoop, disconnections to language, family, and culture has been prevalent in my life. Although my dad did the forefront of most of the hard work, piece by piece I’m learning and reconnecting in new ways, and I’m extremely grateful. I’m beyond excited to take on such a big and brilliant adventure with such an amazing, hardworking, Indigenous sister!
For me, Bangin’ Bannock is a way to help connect people, strengthen culture, and create conversation. Besides, who doesn’t love bannock? ❤️

WOW! Even though I didn't have CLUE what I was doing, this bannock still came out delicious and so light and airy! Will definitely be supporting these wonderful ladies again.
Don't tell mum, but it was just as good as hers!
It's amazing and so are the owners and beautiful people that run it.
Tried the gluten free mix & it was wonderful! Even my gluten-eating husband liked it! 5 out of 5 for sure.
