A local food truck is doing their part to help out local businesses.

The Rocky Mountain Gut Truck will be offering small busniesses in the Crowsnest Pass and other small communities the opportunity to advertise on the Gut Truck.

Owner, Deanna Le Vavasour, said this was something to do that would promote a little more positivity in all the negatives happening right now.

"There is a lot of negativity right now. I think that something more positive should be happening. I felt this was a move that could bring us a little closer together as a community and help each other out. We're all human, we all have a voice, we all have opinions and we all need to respect one another. It doesn't get us anywhere when we're all angry at each other and hurting each other. It just makes everything worse."

Le Vavasour says right now, people need to come together in support of one another.

"If we can come together and build a foundation instead of tearing down a foundation that has already been made before the pandemic, we can create a greater space for everyone to work together and come together."

The Rocky Mountain Gut Truck is in the Pass every Thursday at various locations.

"We've been down at the NAPA in Blairmore in their parking lot. We also go to the Crowsnest Market in the summer when it's outside and park there."

Le Vavasour says she’ll be keeping the advertisements on the truck for a while.

"We'll have them on as long as it takes. I really want to share what the Crowsnest Pass and all the other little towns we go to with small businesses have. Any of them that want to put their logo on our truck they can. Anything that helps any of the small businesses is our aim, even if it's just one customer or maybe brings in 20 customers. Anything helps those businesses. We'll probably do two seasons."

Le Vavasour says it’s a priority to help as many businesses as possible.

"We can talk about sizes. I don't just want one big advertisement from someone. I want to fit a lot of small businesses on the food truck to help everyone out. We can talk about where people want their info on the truck and the size of it when people contact me."

Anyone interested in having their business advertised on the Rocky Mountain Gut Truck, can contact Le Vavasour through their Rocky Mountain Gut Truck Facebook page or by calling (403)-583-0111.

LE Vavasour reiterated that helping these small businesses is massive right now.

"We never know what businesses are going through right now so be kind, be helpful, be respectful and just love one another."
