Our beautiful community is nestled in the Purcell Mountain Range with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and the scenic Kootenay River Valley. Kimberley attracts people from all walks of life - from young families to retirees, artists and entrepreneurs - who want to combine lifestyle with livelihood. The world-class Kimberley Alpine Ski Resort, as well as the golf courses at Trickle Creek, Kimberley Golf Club and Bootleg Gap, are only a few of the recreational opportunities available. Outdoor enthusiasts love to explore Kimberley's beautiful forested river valley using the extensive trail network and nature park at the city's edge. Kimberley's new Conference & Athlete Training Centre is the largest conference centre in both the East and West Kootenays and offers a state-of-the-art facility that is fully accessible as well as taking the lead in offering "green" conference options. Kimberley has a vibrant arts and culture scene, including festivals such as Arts on the Edge, JulyFest, and the Kimberley Music Festival. Shopaholics head directly for the Alpine-style Platzl, Kimberley's pedestrian-only retail area. Our social network includes an integrated health centre; primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools; retirement communities; and a very proactive volunteer base.
