kootenay time 

The process in which it takes an extra hour to do anything.

It also incurrs that the person who is "late", (in quotes as they are only following kootenay time, not late as others may say) also lives in the beautiful area surrounded by the rocky montains called "the Kootenays"

The airy nature of the residents is probably due to the gorgeous surroundings they are inhabited in so they really don't care about the rest of the world ; they are on Kootenay time.

kootenay time 

It's all about the easy going, stress free, slow pace of life in the Kootenay area. Where a given time is merely a ballpark figure. Take time, slow down, enjoy the view, smile, chat with a stranger, stop and smell the roses, do whatever makes you happy and don't ever rush it....not for anyone.

Wife: "would you hurry up and get ready! We need to be in town by 7:00!"

Husband: "Relax babe, we're on Kootenay time, we'll get there eventually"
