Jeanette Schisler grew up in Deep Cove and is now raising her family here. As part of her family’s ethos, she believes deeply in community, creativity, and giving back — values that inspired her to help bring the Cove Community Markets to life.

The Cove Market series celebrates community, artisans, makers, and the brings that little bit of magic that is Deep Cove to light. 

​

As an artisan herself and the maker behind Coldwell Creations, Jeanette understands the value of handmade work and sustainability. She creates from salvaged and reclaimed wood, designing pieces that highlight the natural beauty already within each grain — a reflection of her belief that beauty lies in simplicity and authenticity.

​

When she’s not organizing markets or creating in her workshop, you’ll find Jeanette with her family — exploring local trails, spending time at their cabin up the Arm, or tending her garden — always drawing inspiration from the landscapes and community that make Deep Cove feel like home.
 

Michelle O’Neill is the marketer and creative mind behind the Cove Community Market Series brand. A long-time Deep Cove local, she believes in showing up for her community — volunteering with local sports organizations like NVMHA and MSLL, and helping with community and school events while supporting her family here in the Cove.
 

With over 25 years in marketing, Michelle left the corporate world to focus on what she loves most — helping small businesses and makers tell their stories in real, meaningful ways. Through her company, Lantern Girl Creates, she blends strategy, storytelling, and design to make marketing approachable and authentic.
 

When she’s not brainstorming ideas or planning the next market, you’ll find her outside — hiking the trails or out on the water with her paddleboard. For Michelle, helping bring the Cove Community Market Series to life is about celebrating creativity, connection, and local entrepreneurship.

Marcia has been a resident of Deep Cove for more than 60 years. A retired educator and former entrepreneur, Marcia has returned to her event roots to organize the first Grand Deep Cove Market, following its success we are presenting a Spring Market. This market will broaden the horizon with a focus on community conservation, eco-conscious greenery and spring rejuvenation.

Always encouraging those around her to "get involved" Marcia has maintained an active role in her community through volunteering for and participating in many community events, fundraisers, and celebrations.

When not navigating the new ways of organizing community events (hello daunting world of technology and social media), Marcia attends SFU to pursue her passion for writing, can be seen sweatin' to the oldies at the NVRC, all the while chasing her grandkids, perpetually cooking, canning, or preserving in either her Coldwell Beach or Deep Cove kitchen. 

Hi! My name is Keaton Schisler and I am 16 years old and am in grade 12 at Seycove Secondary. I asked the committee if I can help out at this year's DCWM and it was decided organizing the new Jr Makers section and rally student volunteers for set up and take down would suit my skills. 

I have been helping my family since the first DCWM and wanted to play a bigger role in the planning and not just the day of.  I like giving back to this wonderful Cove community because it’s done so much for me and my family over the years and I figured it was time I stepped up and did more than just set up tables and drive around with my Pops and set up signs - and no I’m not doing it because my Mom told me to!  I’m excited to see you all on the big day and support Jr Makers (including my sisters) to have successful sales at the 4th Annual DCWM!

When not helping with the DCWM I am on my bike - a lot - training and racing on the trails and the road. I like to climb too and hang out with my friends and girlfriend and sometimes do homework.
