elcome to “valley time.” Life unfolds at its own pace here. Maybe it’s something to do with the magnificent mountain ranges rising up to the east and west, or North America’s longest wetlands lazily winding its way through the valley floor. Whatever the reason, it’s magical. One of the most beautiful gems in the crown of natural landscapes that the province of British Columbia proudly wears, the Columbia Valley is a destination not to miss. With just three points of vehicle access — from the north via Golden, from the east from Alberta through Kootenay National Park, and from the south via Cranbrook, the commercial centre of the East Kootenay — the valley beckons anyone with a taste for adventure, natural wilderness, rural landscapes and tranquility.

Elegance? We have that too. The Columbia Valley is renowned for its resorts. And hot springs. At the heart of Radium Hot Springs are the famous hot pools in Sinclair Canyon where a relaxing dip can be followed by a luxurious massage at the poolside Pleiades Spa. The famous mineral pools at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort are complimented by three golf courses in the summer, and a family-friendly ski area in the frosty winter months. The valley is also home to three premier ski resorts — Panorama Mountain Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort — making it a mountain paradise for skiers and snowboarders. Ice fishing is another popular winter pastime. Just head to Lake Windermere, where you’ll see ice shacks scattered across its frozen surface — passing scenery for the cross country skiers and ice skaters making their way around the lake on the record-breaking Whiteway. In 2014, the Lake Windermere Whiteway was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s longest outdoor ice skating trail! In the summer, the lake’s warm water entices swimmers, kayakers, sailors, stand-up paddleboarders, water skiers and canoeists. The snow-free mountains attract hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, dirt bikers and other land lovers with an eye on exploring the valley’s backcountry trails and roads that seemingly go on forever. The world class offerings continue: endless lakes and rivers, a number of provincial parks, outdoor recreation opportunities for every season, a diverse selection of cosmopolitan restaurants, cafés and shops, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and more. With the drive — spanning over 100 kilometres — from the north end of the valley to the south being just three hours, you don’t have to go far to find your peace.

Welcome to the Columbia Valley, or, as the local saying goes, “the warm side of the Canadian Rockies.” Stay a while, and you will never want to leave.

Columbia Valley

History

Invermereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community skating rink was on the main street, now the location of Saftaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen on 7th Avenue.

he Columbia Valley was originally home to First Nations groups, serving as a traditional hunting and fishing ground. Both the Shuswap Band and the Ktunaxa Nation made their living from the land, which provided food, medicine and materials for shelter and clothing. Both First Nations continue to have thriving communities, and place names such as Skookumchuck and Spillimacheen mark their influence on the region.

railway was completed in 1885, however, that the first towns were established. Names such as Windermere (1883), Athalmer (1888), Fairmont (1889), Peterborough (1899, now Wilmer), and Invermere (1909) were added to the map.

The fur trade brought the first European arrivals to the area. In 1807, legendary explorer and fur trader David Thompson built Kootenae House on the banks of the Columbia River near Invermere. From there he traded goods for pelts with the First Nations and surveyed the mountains and streams in the area.

The early economy supporting these growing communities was based on the abundance of ore in the mountains as well as subsistence farming and ranching. A number of land settlement schemes in the 1910s drew immigrants here to make a living farming fruit. Although lessthan-ideal agricultural conditions prevented these ventures from thriving, many newcomers stayed to make a living however they could. In the 1920s, lumber became another important natural resource and economic mainstay.

Early European settlement was sporadic. From the nearest train station at Sandpoint, Idaho, a number of small ranches and stopping houses crept up along the pack trail leading through the valley, up to the construction site for the Canadian Pacific Railway near Golden. It was only after the

The natural beauty of the area was also a draw. In 1905, local businessman Robert Randolph Bruce began to lobby for a motor road to be built between Banff and Windermere. After years of setbacks, his efforts resulted in the creation of

Kootenay National Park in 1919 as well as the opening of the first road across the Central Rockies in 1923.

Just three years earlier in 1920, the valley saw the opening of the Canadian Pacific Railway bungalow camp on the shores of Lake Windermere. The central clubhouse of this historic site has since been moved to the Dorothy Lake area in Invermere (near Kinsmen Beach) and restored. mere Highway through The shores of he late 1920s. Dorothy Lake also feature the historic building known as Pynelogs. Built as a private residence in 1914, Pynelogs is currently a Cultural Centre and Art Gallery. The valley ventured into year-round tourism in the 1960s. A rope tow and small warming hut were constructed at Panorama in 1962 followed by the first chair lift five years later. In 1964, a new pool complex and ski hill were built at Fairmont. Golf courses at both resorts soon followed, adding to the overall number

of fairways spreading throughout the valley. As visitors came to see, explore and use the natural attractions of the valley in the years after the Second World War, an increasing number also looked to stay here longer than a couple of weeks. Summer homes were built on the east side of Lake Windermere. Today, non-permanent residents own approximately 70 per cent of housing in the valley. The magnificent scenery, lake access, natural hot springs and proximity to world-renowned mountainous terrain continues to attract visitors to the region. To learn more about early settlement and the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse stories, visit the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, the Golden and District Museum to the north, the Kimberley Heritage Museum and the Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway to the south, and, in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Art Museum, and Fort Steele Heritage Town.

Golden

he oldest and most northern town in the Columbia Valley, Golden sits at the confluence of the Columbia and Kicking Horse rivers, surrounded by the Canadian Rockies, Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. A well-known paradise for outdoor recreation activities, it’s also a historic settlement, lived in and loved by a community proud of its heritage of intrepid exploration and mountain tourism, one that has defined the area for over a century. The Kicking Horse pass and river were named for Palliser Expedition geologist, Sir James Hector, who suffered a near-fatal kick from a horse in 1858 while seeking a route through the mountains for the Canadian Pacific Railway. After the railway to Golden was completed in 1885, the Canadian Pacific Railway brought the first generation of Swiss Mountain Guides to Golden in 1899 to safely guide tourists in the surrounding mountains. And so began the valley’s mountain tourism, which eventually led to the creation of the Canadian Mountain Guide Association, the birth of heli-skiing and the world-class reputation of Golden as an adventurers' mecca. Each year, Golden hosts the Golden Mountain Festival, an annual event that celebrates its authentic mountain town heritage. In 2015, the festival takes place from May 15th to 17th with the theme “Adventurers of Yesterday and Today.”

The 2015 Golden Mountain Festival will also offer plenty of adventure-themed activities, from whitewater rafting to horse-riding and nature hikes. In the downtown Spirit Square, the public will enjoy the outdoor Golden Farmers’ Market and family-themed entertainment throughout the weekend. Discounts on accommodation, activities and dining will also be available. For more information on this year’s festival and what’s in store for 2016, check the festival’s website at www.goldenfest.ca. And don’t miss downtown Golden in the summer when it becomes alive each week with the farmers’ market and Summer Kicks, a series of free concerts that take place in the Spirit Square adjacent to the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge, which spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada.

The festival’s headliner — Canadian athlete and guide Will Gadd, who fuels his passion for adventure in the mountains surrounding Golden — was named one of National Geographic’s 2014/2015 Adventurers of the Year. His 35-day paragliding trek from McBride, B.C. to the U.S. border after successfully

climbing B.C.’s Helmcken Falls, one of the hardest mixed-route ice and rock climbs in the world, captured the magazine’s attention — as did Gadd’s performance at Colorado’s 2015 Ouray Ice Festival, where he won the elite mixed climbing event.

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Year-round, the dramatic mountain peaks surrounding Golden attract hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. Another nearby landmark, Mount 7, was the launch site for the first distance hang gliding world record in 1986 and is a great view point from which to see the Columbia Wetlands and the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. The nearby rivers offer fly-fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. The Kicking Horse River was the first in Western Canada to be recognized as a heritage river and offers world class whitewater rafting on Class 1 to 4 rapids. Home to world-class heliskiing and cat skiing, Golden also offers 240 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails and four maintained snowmobiling areas. The renowned Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located just 15 kilometres outside of Golden and features one of the highest vertical drops in North America. In the summer months, the resort offers a downhill mountain bike park and dining at one of the highest restaurants in Canada — the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant.

Add to that 100 kilometres of maintained cross country mountain biking trails on the Moonraker and the new Mountain Shadows trail systems, a nationally acclaimed golf course, five nearby national parks and you have an ideal outdoor playground. For indoor kicks, the Dogtooth Climbing Gym is the only commercial indoor climbing gym in the valley and offers over 100 top rope climbing routes and a bouldering cave. And a visit to Golden isn’t complete without a trip to the Northern Lights Wolf Wildlife Centre or Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s Grizzly Bear Refuge. A diverse selection of accommodation in both downtown Golden and at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort caters to all budgets, from cozy bed and breakfasts, reasonably priced motels, hotels and seasonal rentals, and luxury vacation homes to charming lodges and rustic log cabins located in the Blaeberry and Columbia valleys. Visitors can also enjoy many fine shops and eateries, ranging from quaint cafés to five-star dining, and the lively arts and cultural scene. Visit www.tourismgolden.com.

Spillimacheen & Brisco With a population just shy of 70, Spillimacheen — named after the Spillimacheen River that empties into the Columbia — is located halfway between Golden and Invermere. Home to a number of artists and studios, Spilli, as it is affectionately known by locals, is also supported by an economy largely based on farming and ranching, and a number of home businesses including catering, bookkeeping and contractors. It’s also home to the seasonal Spilli Bean café known for its terrific homemade meals and great view overlooking the Columbia River Wetlands. Dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of these wetlands is the Friends of the Columbia Wetlands Society, also based in Spillimacheen. In addition to its popular sport climbing area, Spilli Rock, one of Spillimacheen’s most famous attractions is Beeland, the valley’s apiary specializing in alpine honey. Located in the historic Spillimacheen Trading Post (est. 1912) just off Highway 95, Beeland produces a wide array of locally-made honeybee products, from unique flavoured honeys such as Bugaboo

Gold Wildflower to honey-based jams, vinegars, salsas, soaps and more. Located 13 kilometres south of Spillimacheen and 27 kilometres north of Edgewater, Brisco is considered the gateway to Bugaboo Provincial Park, which boasts the deluxe Canadian Mountain Holidays Bugaboo Lodge, the Conrad Kain Hut (available for overnight bookings through the Alpine Club of Canada from June to September) located at the base of some of the largest glaciers in the Purcell Mountains, and impressive glacier-sculpted granite spires that attract climbers from around the world. With a permanent population of about 170, Brisco offers amenities that include the Brisco General Store & Greenhouse (est. 1911), a gas station, a community hall, a riding club and arena, postal service, and easy access to the backcountry. World class rock climbing in the Jubilee Mountain area, mountain biking off Westside and Giant Mine roads, and hiking on the Lower Bugaboo Falls and Salmon Falls trails are just some of the options. Because of their proximity to the Columbia River Wetlands, both the Spilli and Brisco communities also offer easy access to canoeing and kayaking on the river.

Edgewater

ocated 11 kilometres north of Radium Hot Springs with the dramatic backdrop of Kootenay National Park directly east, the tranquil hamlet of Edgewater is one of the valley’s oldest communities, having celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012. A feature attraction is the wooden water flume (a viaduct for transporting water several kilometres for agricultural use) that was built in 1912 and is still in operation today. Named for its location on the edge of the Columbia River, Edgewater is popular with families and retirees, offering affordable living and a strong sense of community to its permanent population of roughly 550 residents. The local economy is mainly supported by tourism, forestry and agriculture, as well as a substantial self-employed workforce.

A weekend farmers’ market during the summer months is popular with its fare of local produce and handcrafted goods, and there is a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities nearby. Within the community itself are an outdoor skating rink and ball park. Just a short drive south are Kootenay National Park and the Radium hot pools. Edgewater is also a favoured pull-out location for people canoeing or kayaking down the Columbia River from Invermere or Radium through the wetlands. Embarking from Edgewater and travelling downriver to the bridge at Brisco is also popular. Located just north of Edgewater along the highway is the Edgewater Hilltop Par 3 golf course, which has all the amenities of any 18hole golf course concentrated into a 9-hole par 3 course. The clubhouse is famous for its fresh pies baked daily with organic rhubarb and apples grown on site. In 2014, the golf course opened a seven-lot RV park with full hookups and gorgeous views. In recent years, Edgewater has been making a name for itself as a fabulous outdoor concert venue with the annual Steamboat Mountain Music Festival. In its fourth year for 2015, the festival takes place on the school grounds overlooking the wetlands, surrounded by views of the Rockies and Purcell mountain ranges.

Easily accessible from Highway 95, Edgewater offers a range of amenities including a volunteer fire department, a Royal Canadian Legion branch, Pip’s Country Store and Gas Station (which offers terrific hot sausage rolls and other snacks), a post office, a shared ministry church and Edgewater Elementary School. The village hub is the Edgewater Community Hall, which is the venue for an array of events, dances and performances throughout the year.

he charming alpine Village of Radium Hot Springs is the first destination visitors encounter when they emerge from Kootenay National Park through the sheer cliff walls of Sinclair Canyon on Highway 93, just moments after passing the world-famous Radium hot pools. Nestled against the foothills of the majestic Rockies with the Purcell Mountains to the west, the village also has stunning views of the Columbia River Wetlands, the longest continuous wetlands in North America. The sweeping vistas of the wetlands, snow-dusted mountains and winding river tributaries make for a spectacular setting. With its small-town charm, friendly people and numerous recreational and business opportunities, it’s easy to see why nearly

Radium Hot Springs Pools T

he famed Radium Hot Springs, located in Kootenay National Park just a short drive from the Village of Radium, feature Canada’s most dramatic mineral springs pool. Surrounded by rock walls, these natural, odourless hot springs are an amazing experience to savour any time of the year.

expropriate the hot springs and Stuart received about $40,000 for his investment. Since then, Parks Canada has rebuilt the facilities twice.

Today’s facilities are housed in the Aquacourt, a classified Federal Heritage Building constructed in 1951. It is open daily throughout the year. Naturally heated by geo-thermic hot springs, the hot pools are kept between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius. The hot lounging pool is the perfect place to relax and unwind after an activity-filled day. The 25-metre long cool pool, complete with diving board, is a wonderful place for Photo © Windermere Valley Museum families to spend time together.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the 1800s, First Nations peoples bathed in the pools, believing the water had healing power. Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company, was undoubtedly the first “tourist” to relax in Radium Hot Springs’ soothing waters while travelling around the world. By the late 1800s, the springs were popular with the area’s settlers. In 1890, Roland Stuart purchased the 160 acres around the springs for $160. Stuart constructed the first concrete bathing pool, a log bathhouse and a home for a caretaker in 1914 after receiving funding from multi-millionaire John Harmsworth. When the federal and provincial governments began negotiating the establishment of Kootenay National Park in 1920, Stuart still had not returned from England following the First World War. His agent encouraged the government to

However, the Kinbasket Shuswap officially withdrew from the Ktunaxa Nation Tribal Council to re-join the Shuswap Nation in 2006.

Chief Pierre Kinbasket and his twin brother Charlie were some of the first permanent settlers of the Kinbasket Clan in the valley. They built pithouses and salmon caches along the Columbia River to Brisco that are still visible today.The Shuswap people developed an intricate system of travel corresponding with the seasons, as well as an important social and political system that governed their interactions with each other and the use of their traditional lands. The system was passed down from generation to generation through stories, using a rich oral history that continues to play an important role among the Shuswap to this day. The Kinbaskets traded and were allies with the Stony Tribe of Alberta, as well as their neighbours, the Akisqnuk — part of the Ktunaxa First Nation — resulting in mixed lineage and affiliations that continue to this day.

Since contact with the European explorers and settlers, the Shuswap way of life has changed dramatically. Like many other First Nations, the Shuswap Indian Band’s traditional territory has become increasingly committed to tourism and recreation, as well as industrial and resource development. Kinbasket Sewer & Water Company Ltd. is a self-sufficient water supply and sewage treatment plant that services the Windermere subdivisions of Lakeview Meadows, Black Forest Heights and the Cottages at Copper Point, as well as Canadian Tire and the commercial frontage along Athalmer Road. Made up of a chief and two councillors elected every two years, the Shuswap Band Council is the administrative and governing body of the band, which numbers roughly 267 members, with about 90 living on-reserve, 147 offreserve and 20 on reserves elsewhere.

Wilmer Located less than five minutes north of Invermere, the historic community of Wilmer was the first community established in the heart of the Columbia Valley. It was 1807 when famed explorer and mapmaker David Thompson founded a Northwest Trading Company post near the site of present-day Wilmer, naming it Kootenae House. This was the first trading post in the Columbia Valley and is now a National Historic Site located on the drive into Wilmer, locally known as Monument Corner. Originally named Peterborough, Wilmer was eventually founded in 1886 and evidence of its long history can been seen in the original late-1800s buildings that pepper its streets. One in particular stands out due to its excellent preservation — the beautiful Delphine Lodge, built in 1899. Wilmer’s most famous resident, Conrad Kain, arrived from Austria in 1909 with the promise of employment as the Alpine Club of Canada’s first professional guide. Over the next quarter century, Kain made climbing history and is credited with the first ascents of many nearby peaks, including Bugaboo Spire and Mount Farnham. The Conrad Kain Cairn and Park in the centre of Wilmer is dedicated to his memory, as is a permanent exhibition at Invermere’s Windermere Valley Museum and a cairn on Highway 93, just north of Radium.

Today’s Wilmer is a close-knit and family-oriented fully residential community with all the convenience of Invermere’s stores, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment just a few minutes drive away. Local amenities include a community hall, a kids’ playground and an outdoor skating rink. Its location on the edge of the Columbia River Wetlands provides ample opportunity for bird watching and wildlife viewing. Nature enthusiasts can while away the hours viewing the hundreds of species found locally, including the bald eagle, and may be lucky enough to spot the endangered peregrine falcon, American badger or leopard frog.The 787-hectare Wilmer unit of the Columbia National Wildlife Area protects some of Canada’s most valuable natural habitat for migrating waterfowl, fish, plants and species at risk. Located five kilometres west of Wilmer is Lake Enid, a popular day use area known for its picturesque trail that loops around the lake, ideal for hiking or mountain biking in the summer and ice skating and cross country skiing in the winter months. Wilmer is also a great staging point for backcountry adventures in hiking, quading, and snowmobiling, and home to a popular annual fireworks celebration on Christmas Eve that continues to grow year after year.

Panorama This full-service resort with its vibrant community is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all inclinations. The winter brings snowsports fans from around the world to enjoy Panorama’s 4,000 vertical feet of skiing — the fifth largest vertical drop in North America. With more than 2,800 acres of patrolled ski and snowboard terrain, the resort is known for its long, groomed runs and big mountain experience. The mountain has over 120 ski trails, including the 750-plus acres of backcountry-style glory in Taynton Bowl, once reserved for heliskiing and now accessible with a lift ticket (it’s patrolled so no avalanche gear is required). For heliskiers and heliboarders, Panorama is home to the operations of RK Heliski, which offers easy helicopter access to the magic of the Purcell’s high alpine powder.

Panorama’s other winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing at the Panorama Nordic Centre, which also caters to fat tire bikers, with 28 kilometres of groomed trails. The summer months promise a ton of excitement with lift-accessed downhill mountain biking and hiking, a wide variety of kids’ activities, whitewater rafting, mini golf, fishing, ATV tours, horseback riding, trail walks, climbing and the Panorama Springs pools and waterpark, which all lodging guests can access. In the summer, the resort also offers golfing at the award-winning Greywolf Golf Course with its spectacular alpine backdrop and beautifully manicured greens. A family-friendly mountain retreat, Panorama has a selection of overnight rental accommodations, from the comfortable convenience of fully-equipped mountainside condos and townhouses to a modestly priced hotel. One of the most appealing attributes of Panorama Mountain Resort is that it is, in fact, a village. Just park underground and head to your room, where you’re only steps away from everything — including the chairlift. For more information, visit www.panoramaresort.com.

Invermere

On The Lake

Canada Day celebrations in downtown Invermere.

n unbeatable location on the north shore of Lake Windermere gives the community of Invermere on the Lake a privileged place on the valley map.

And thanks to its central locale in the Columbia Valley, it’s home to a thriving business centre and an Industrial Park that serves all the surrounding communities.

Gorgeous lake vistas combined with outstanding scenic views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west make Invermere a popular tourist destination all year long.

Despite its humble beginnings as a small settlement, Invermere gained the grandiose name of Copper City in 1890 in hopes that the wealth of copper in the nearby mountains would one day result in an actual city. Ten years later, the name was changed to Canterbury, after the well-known cathedral city in England.

This picturesque lakeside resort community of 3,400 residents swells to nearly 30,000 during the summer, when seasonal visitors flock to the area to enjoy the fresh air, crystal clear lake waters, jagged mountain peaks and seemingly endless opportunities to recreate or relax in the great outdoors.

This identity crisis was finally solved in 1909 when the name Invermere (Gaelic for “at the mouth of the lake”) was adopted. The town was officially incorporated in 1951.

Windermere T

he serene lakeside community of Windermere sits on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere. Rich in heritage, arts and outdoor recreation, this scenic neighbourhood is located eight kilometres south of Invermere on Highway 93/95 and enjoys access to a range of activities. The public beach in Windermere is one of the most popular in the valley. It’s perfect for the summer heat, with pleasant green spaces, picnic tables, washroom, playground and swimming areas. Easy lake access makes this a great spot for any lake-based water sport. With its spectacular north and south views of the entire valley, nearby Mt. Swansea is a locals’ favourite for hiking, biking, hang gliding and paragliding. The Windermere Valley Golf Course at its base, with its beautifullymaintained fairways, makes for an incredibly

scenic golf experience complete with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, fully-stocked pro shop, teaching programs and restaurant. During the winter, Windermere is a great base for excursions, either to nearby Panorama Mountain Resort, the ski area at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, or the Whiteway (see page 62 for more information on this groomed ice skating and cross-country ski track that connects Windermere to various other communities around the lake). The first commercial buildings constructed in the valley were built in Windermere as early as 1883, with a number surviving to this day. Still to be spotted are the White House Hotel and the old RCMP barracks. Many of Windermere’s other original buildings have been converted into beautiful homes. Today, the community is well-stocked with all the necessary facilities of a community hall, grocery store, elementary school, highway gas stations, bowling alley, roadside amusement park, a smattering of places to eat, and the historic White House pub. Those looking for a place to rest their head will find a selection of bed-and-breakfasts, motels and campgrounds. With its new home subdivisions and renovation properties, this growing community is increasingly popular with seasonal home owners.

If you love a good story, stop by the pretty St. Peter’s Church, also known as The Stolen Church. The building was taken from the town of Donald, near Golden, by Rufus Kimpton for his wife Celina. Dismantled and transported to the valley via rail, wagon and riverboat, the church was reassembled in Windermere in 1900. History buffs should also visit the cemetery on the beautiful Windermere Point. The tombstones tell the story of early settlers in the Columbia Valley. And don’t miss the community’s annual Windermere Fall Fair & Scarecrow Festival in September, a day-long celebration with vendors, live music, fun activities and more.

Akisqnuk First Nation

A growing First Nation, the Akisqnuk First Nation is comprised of approximately 300 members. Their native Ktunaxa language, spoken by Ktunaxa people throughout the traditional territory, is a unique First Nation language that cannot be

linked to any other native language in North America. The Akisqnuk First Nation covers over 8,000 acres of the most beautiful land in the Columbia Valley. From its 14 kilometres of pristine shoreline along Lake Windermere and the Columbia River to the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Akisqnuk First Nation territory is spectacular. In fact, the First Nation is the largest single landholder in the Columbia Valley.

he people of the Akisqnuk First Nation are members of the Ktunaxa (pronounced too-na-ha) Nation who, for thousands of years, lived a nomadic lifestyle in their traditional territory, which extends through the Kootenay Region of British Columbia into southern Alberta and parts of the American states of Montana, Idaho and Washington.

A short drive from the airports in Calgary, Alberta and Cranbrook, B.C., the Akisqnuk First Nation is ideally situated in the heart of the Columbia Valley. Bordering the communities of Windermere to the north and Fairmont Hot Springs to the south, the Akisqnuk First Nation enjoys excellent working relationships with its regional partners in both business and government, and is host to ever-broadening business opportunities.

Fairmont Hot Springs B

eautiful Fairmont Hot Springs is on the banks of the winding Columbia River, 20 minutes south of Invermere and moments from peaceful Columbia Lake. Fairmont is home to the world-renowned Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, and a community of seasonal and year-round residents who delight in the pleasant surroundings and friendly resort atmosphere. The mineral hot pools that first drew settlers to Fairmont can be enjoyed at the resort, which is home to one of Canada’s largest hot springs complexes, with nearly 1,000 square metres of odourless pools. Those enjoying the soothing 35 C to 45 C waters have a marvellous view of snow-capped mountain peaks as a backdrop. In 2012, the community was put to the test by a flow of debris caused by heavy rain and spring run-off, but unquestionably came out better than ever. As a result, a new and improved RV park entrance and pedestrian footbridge at the resort, and changes to the Mountainside Golf Course by acclaimed architect Doug Carrick, are just a few more reasons why Fairmont is one of the must-visit places in the valley.

It was 1887 when George Geary homesteaded the land around the natural springs now known as Fairmont Hot Springs. But it wasn’t until the early 1900s that the springs’ tourism potential was recognized by William Heap Holland, an eccentric English cotton millionaire. The inventive entrepreneur drafted the valley’s first promotional brochure, which helped to draw scores of British tourists to the area. Starting in 1912, Geary harnessed the springs, built a swimming pool, erected a ranch barn, started a restaurant, opened a campground and built bungalows. A putting green and tennis, badminton and tetherball courts soon followed. After passing through the hands of Lloyd and Earl Wilder, brothers from Saskatchewan responsible for the first major expansion, the resort was purchased by Ken Fowler Enterprises in 2007. Facilities at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort include a 144-room lodge with fitness and convention facilities, full-service spa, top-rated RV park with over 200 sites, shops, riding trails, tennis courts and eco-adventure programs for the whole family. Privately owned rental accommodations can be found throughout the village.

Canal Flats

Located halfway between Invermere and Cranbrook at the southern end of Columbia Lake with the Kootenay River to the south, the quiet community of Canal Flats takes its name from the flat strip of land that it sits upon, which is intersected by a historic canal. The village was first named McGillivray’s Portage by the famous explorer and mapmaker David Thompson when he passed through the region in 1808. The canal was built in 1889 by entrepreneur William Adolph Baillie-Grohman to connect Kootenay River to Columbia Lake. Its purpose was two-fold: to try and lower the level of nearby Kootenay Lake and reclaim the 48,000 acres of sediment-rich soil left behind, and to open a north-south passageway for canal steamboats to journey from Montana to

Golden. But the risk of flooding the Columbia River curtailed Baillie-Grohman’s efforts. He had no choice but to install a lock system, defeating his dream of diverting water from Kootenay Lake. Only two ships ever passed through: the vessel Gwendoline in 1895, and the North Star in 1902. The local post office officially adopted the name Canal Flats in 1913. Supported mainly by the lumber industry, Canal Flats has expanded since its incorporation in 2004, offering affordable living in a friendly, small-town atmosphere. The village is increasingly attractive to families and seasonal home owners, with the convenience of the Canadian Rockies International Airport just an hour’s drive away. The surrounding scenery is spectacular as the area is part of the Rocky Mountain Trench and the gateway to several stunning provincial parks, including Whiteswan Lake and Top of the World. There is plenty to do in each season, from kayaking, mountain biking, boating and birdwatching in the summer to ice fishing on the lakes and skiing at nearby Fairmont in the winter. Due to its proximity to the backcountry, the area is also a popular quading and

The 9-hole recreation course can be easily walked but provides a unique challenge for golfers of all abilities. All three courses have sunny patios at the 19th hole! There are plenty of nearby lakes, rivers and streams where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, rafting and boating. The suburb of Marysville, less than 10 minutes away, has unique shops and is always a pleasant stop on the way to Cranbrook.

Around the Valley

Photo © Dan Walton

From north to south, the Columbia Valley is an adventure playground for all ages, all year long. The scope of things to do can be overwhelming, especially if you’re a first-time visitor. Here is a quick A-Z list to give you some ideas on how to spend your “valley time.”

Beaches

Climbing Rock/Ice

During the summer months, there are a number of sandy spots to kick back on a beach towel and soak in some rays with warm water just a few steps away. In Invermere, check out James Chabot Provincial Park, or Kinsmen Beach with its urban amenities. Windermere Beach on the east side of the lake and Tilley Memorial Park in Canal Flats are also popular.

The Columbia Valley offers plenty of exciting places to climb, whether it’s on granite or dolomite in the summer or waterfall ice in the winter. Locals love the sport climbing at Jubilee Mountain in Spillimacheen and at various locations along Toby Creek near Panorama Mountain Village, while the internationally acclaimed Bugaboos — recognized in the definitive Fifty Classic Climbs of North America as a granite paradise not to be missed — draws climbers from around the world. During the winter, the valley’s cold temperatures and steep walls attract ice climbers to the 140-metre, south-facing Gibraltar Wall in Canal Flats, the beginnerfriendly Cedar Creek seeps near Spillimacheen and the challenging vertical lines found on the Stanley headwall in Kootenay National Park.

Bird Watching One of the longest intact wetlands in North America, the 180-kilometre stretch of the Columbia River Wetlands makes the valley a birdwatcher’s paradise. Over 265 species of birds have been recorded here. Don’t miss the annual Wings Over the Rockies bird festival held each May, which offers a full week of field trips, presentations and workshops.

Camping A great way to get even closer to the valley’s spectacular scenery is by camping. See RV Parks and Camping on page 60-61.

Canoeing/Kayaking Explore Columbia Lake, Lake Windermere or any of the valley’s spectacular lakes, rivers and wetlands by kayak or canoe. Rentals and tours are available in Radium, Invermere, Fairmont, Kimberley and Cranbrook.

Curling Curling is a popular community sport in the valley with the Invermere Curling Club in downtown Invermere as its hub. A lively recreational league runs all winter long with the annual Bonspiel on the Lake as the season’s highlight. It takes place every January as part of the Invermere Snowflake Festival and teams come from across Western Canada as well as Washington and Montana to attend.

Farmers’ Markets The number of local artisans and food

2015 Columbia Valley Map Book

producers has grown to the point where bustling farmers’ markets can be found up and down the valley all summer long. Golden hosts markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Radium Hot Springs’ Market on Main happens every Friday and select Saturdays, the Invermere and Cranbrook markets are each Saturday and the markets in Edgewater and Fairmont Hot Springs are on Sundays. Call local Visitor Centres for locations and times.

Festivals The Columbia Valley is becoming renowned for its vibrant music and community festivals held through the year. See Events on page 41.

Fishing

The Columbia Valley’s pristine lakes, rivers and streams make for incredible fishing. From Golden to Invermere to Kimberley, a wide range of species can be caught, from Rainbow, Cutthroat and Dolly Varden trout to Bass, Kokanee and Lingcod. Whether shore, boat, fly or ice fishing strikes your fancy, you won’t be disappointed. Rental boats, ice huts, rods and tackle are available in each major centre. Better yet, treat yourself to a guided fishing charter, tour or expedition.

Invermere Soaring Centre, Bavin Air or Airspace Helicopters. Scenic flights over mountains and glaciers can be had in Cessnas, ultralights, helicopters or gliders. The best soaring season is May to September — world records have flown from here.

Galleries With its expansive natural beauty, it’s no wonder the Columbia Valley has become an art destination. With many local artists creating unique work, the valley also boasts impressive galleries showing works from top artists from right across Canada. Whatever you are looking for in terms of art, you can find it in the many studios, co-operatives and professional art galleries scattered throughout the region. In the summer months, you can explore all the galleries through the Invermere Artwalk, which takes place every Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. between June 19th and September 11th (stop by any Invermere Gallery for a map). Demonstrations and exhibitions occur throughout the year, as well as workshops and lessons for aspiring artists of every age.

Geocaching Geocaching is a great, eco-friendly way to explore the valley’s historical locations, geological features and tourist attractions. Armed with a Global Positioning System, feed in co-ordinates and use them to seek out hidden containers (or geocaches) on trails or loops that make nice and easy day-trips. Remove one item and leave one behind for future treasure hunters. Visit www.bcrockiestreasuretrails.com.

Golfing The Columbia Valley is a mecca for golfers, with 16 courses, from mini-golf to 18-hole games, situated within minutes of each other. See pages 53-57 for details.

Guides/Outfitters Flying If you like the idea of exploring as the crow flies, then head to the Invermere Airport, where you can get airborne with the

Explore hidden backcountry corners from north to south with locals who know all the best spots. A variety of outfitters offer professionally guided big game hunts, family oriented horseback trail rides, fishing and hiking trips, wildlife viewing and eco-tours.

views of the Rocky Mountains and Columbia Lake, and the interpretive trails in Kootenay National Park include the history-rich Paint Pots Trail (86 kilometres north of Radium), which is wheelchair accessible. For a more strenuous day trip, the Lake of the Hanging Glacier offers stunning landscapes as does the Jumbo Pass Trail up to Jumbo Hut. For overnight trips, the Rockwall Trail in Kootenay National Park is one of the most beautiful multi-day backcountry hikes in the Canadian Rockies. If you’re the type of person who needs to get somewhere fast to relax, check out the various heli-hiking outfits. They’ll get you to the out of reach places quickly, drop you off and pick you up.

Hockey/Ice Skating Hang Gliding/ Paragliding The valley has some of the world’s best sites for hang gliding and paragliding, with excellent thermal conditions and incredible crosscountry opportunities. Check out the famous Mount 7 flying site in Golden (best suited to advanced pilots), Mt. Swansea in Invermere or the Panorama Flying Site. All offer stunning scenery and spectacular thrills. And be sure to check out Invermere’s annual Lakeside Splash event where pilots take off from Mt. Swansea and land in water targets in Lake Windermere below.

Hiking/Heli-Hiking Spectacular scenery can by accessed via endless trails winding through the valley’s landscape, which range from short strolls to strenuous multi-day treks. Visit the BC Parks website at www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore for details on any of the provincial parks in the region. For a detailed map of the trails in Kootenay National Park, stop at the park’s West Gate or swing by the Welcome Centre in Radium Hot Springs. To find out how to access the backcountry hiking routes in the Invermere area, your best bet is to pick up a guide book or map, as the options are endless. Some quick reference suggestions: The short, easy hike to the top of the Dutch Creek Hoodoos (south of Fairmont Hot Springs) provides magnificent

Indoor arenas can be found in Golden, Invermere, Canal Flats, Kimberley and Cranbrook for recreational use as well as cheering on the local hockey teams. For those who prefer to play outdoors during the winter months, Edgewater and Radium have established outdoor skating rinks, while the District of Invermere grooms outdoor ice areas for public use at Kinsmen Beach and hosts the annual Columbia Valley Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Windermere each February. For an epic 30-plus kilometre outdoor skate, the Lake Windermere Whiteway is where you want to be.

Horseback Riding Don’t miss out on a memorable way to experience the Columbia Valley’s scenery and wildlife. By horseback, novice to expert riders can explore stunning backcountry trails at a different pace. Sports and leisure riding stables pepper the valley’s communities and rides range from scenic one-hour trips to multi-day camping treks.

Hot Springs If tourism in the valley was based on one thing, it would be the hot springs. Historically important in so many ways, the hot springs of Radium and Fairmont — two of Canada’s largest hot springs pools — attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each year. For those willing to drive to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park south of Canal Flats, the wilderness of the undeveloped Lussier Hot Springs offers a natural setting alongside the Lussier River.

Lakes Two of the most beautiful recreational lakes in southeastern British Columbia can be found in the Columbia Valley. Columbia Lake lies to the south between Canal Flats and Fairmont Hot Springs. It’s the headwaters of the Columbia River, the largest river in the Pacific Northwest. Its waters flow through Fairmont before widening to create Lake Windermere, where public boat access is available at the north end in Invermere. The valley is also home to countless mountain lakes, perfect for fishing, boating and swimming. It’s just a matter of choosing which one to relax at.

at Nipika Mountain Resort, the Moonraker and Mountain Shadows trail systems in Golden, the Lake Lillian trails in Invermere, the trails at Fairmont and Panorama Mountain Resort, and Kimberley’s Lois Creek trails. Downhill diehards will love the technical steeps at Invermere’s Mt. Swansea and Golden’s Mount 7, as well as the liftaccessed mountain biking at the Panorama, Kicking Horse and Kimberley ski resorts. For a fun workout, head to the pump tracks in Invermere and Radium. The Columbia Valley Cycling Society offers trail maps — pick one up at the Invermere bike shops or visit www.columbiavalleycyclingsociety.org.

Live Music

Mountaineering

For lively performances by local musicians, head to the closest farmers’ market, local open mic night or community event. Travelling acts ranging from chamber music to jazz to plain ol’ rock ‘n’ roll are hosted by excellent venues up and down the valley, plus the region is home to some growing music festivals during the summer months. See pages 48 to 49 to learn more.

For those seeking to climb mountains, there are terrific peaks throughout the Rockies and Purcells to choose from. Experienced mountaineers have a whole host of worldclass alpine climbs in this region known for its range of choices. Popular spots include Glacier National Park to the north of Golden, Kootenay National Park east of Radium, the jagged peaks of Jumbo Valley west of Invermere, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park (accessed through Kootenay Park and home to the highest peak in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies) and Bugaboo Provincial Park near Brisco, which features some of the best mountaineering in B.C. The park encompasses extensive ice fields, some of the largest glaciers in the Purcells, and spectacular granite spires exceeding 3,000 metres in elevation.

Mountain Biking The valley is a mountain biker’s paradise with trail networks through some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. Epic cross country trails can be found in every community, notably Cross River Canyon Recreation Trails

2015 Columbia Valley Map Book

Museums

Powered Watersports

Discover what shaped valley history by visiting the following museums: the Golden and District Museum, the Windermere Valley Museum in Invermere, Kimberley’s Heritage Museum and Underground Mining Railway, and in Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Art Museum, and the nearby historic site of Fort Steele Heritage Town.

With so many lakes in the region, the potential for motorized fun on the water is endless, from boating and water-skiing to wakeboarding and jet-skiing. There are public boat launches on all the major lakes and rentals are available at locations throughout the valley.

Quad Biking

British Columbia has the largest protected provincial park system in Canada. In the Columbia Valley, there are 15 provincial parks, including Golden Ears in Golden, Dry Gulch and James Chabot just outside Invermere, Whiteswan Lake south of Canal Flats and Top of the World northeast of Kimberley and Cranbrook. Visitors can also explore any number of nearby National Parks, including Kootenay (see pages 58-59), Yoho and Glacier in B.C., and Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta.

If hopping on an ATV and exploring endless kilometres of winding forest service roads and old logging roads is your idea of a good time, then you have come to the right place. The Steamboat Mountain trail near Brisco is a technical ride on forestry roads. In a wilderness setting west of Radium you’ll find Frances Creek/Lead Queen Mine, with plenty of challenging terrain. The Paradise Mine road, 18 kilometres southwest of Invermere just off Toby Creek Road, is a popular scenic trip for off-roaders keen to explore the remnants of an early 1900s silver mine. Anyone riding in the area needs a valid licence and third-party liability insurance. If you don’t have your own wheels, rent or take a guided tour.

Picnicking

Rafting/Floating

A multitude of picnic facilities are scattered throughout the valley, offering a fantastic way to relax while taking in the stunning scenery. Picnic/day use areas are available in most of the provincial parks on a first come, first serve basis, and there are 11 maintained picnic areas in Kootenay National Park. Many have fire rings, firewood and kitchen shelters. Picnic tables, water & wheelchair accessible toilet facilities are available at all sites.

Whitewater rafting is a big tourist draw in the valley, with adventurous trips offered on the Columbia, Kootenay and Kicking Horse rivers, as well as Toby Creek, which carves through steep canyons in the Purcells before joining the Columbia. Gentler scenic floats are also available. Wind your way through the internationally recognized Columbia Valley Wetlands or down the peaceful St. Mary’s and Blaeberry rivers.

Accommodation Staying in the valley The Columbia Valley Map Book is your number one guide to valley accommodations. These pages contain detailed descriptions of the finest choices available, including street, email and website addresses, telephone and fax numbers, a list of features, seasonal information and, in some cases, a list of nearby visitor attractions. Whether you are seeking something rustic, a cozy nook or the lap of luxury, you can find it here. From luxurious resort suites to privately owned and fully stocked alpine chalets to reasonably priced inns and hotels, there are over 3,000 sites and rooms to choose from. With so much to see and do in the Columbia Valley, you’ll find it near-impossible to stay just for one day. Fortunately our range of welcoming accommodations can meet your every need. Be sure to call ahead for reservations. Summer is our busiest season, but the valley is

increasingly busy all year round as more people discover this four-season paradise. Upscale Resorts If you want a no-fuss, lock-and-leave lifestyle, the valley’s resort communities are ideal. They offer luxurious suites, sometimes fully stocked and furnished, and plenty of amenities: spas, golf courses, ski hills, fine restaurants, fitness and business facilities and more. Whole or fractional ownership of suites are available. Condo fees vary according to luxury level. Condominiums The valley has a great selection of new and resale apartment condos, townhomes and detached single-family homes in developments with a few key services and modest condo fees. If you purchase a new condo early enough you have the option to customize your fixtures and fittings, choose your own colours and request upgrades.

The Whiteway W

hether your passion is cross country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, or just the plain thrill of walking and driving across a frozen lake, Lake Windermere delivers during the coldest months of the year, when the water freezes over and a smooth, icy surface forms from the north end to the south. And since 2008, the valley’s local Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club has been funding and maintaining a groomed ice skating and cross country ski track on the frozen lake, that connects the communities of Invermere, Windermere and beyond. Known as the Lake Windermere Whiteway, it has become synonymous with winter outdoor recreation in the valley and is a frosty treat for residents and visitors each year. In 2014, the Whiteway earned the Guinness World Record title for the world’s longest outdoor skating trail. In January 2015, the world record was celebrated with a formal ceremony and the inaugural Whiteway Winter Festival at Kinsmen Beach in Invermere.

The impressive scale of the Whiteway has attracted international attention and is the focus of a new tourism video for the region. In 2012, Discovery Channel’s Mark Miller did a segment on the impressive attraction in his weekly science show the “Daily Planet.” The Nordic Club asks that users either pay an individual day-use fee of $5, or purchase a membership to the club. Memberships and donations can be completed online, by mail or dropped in the secure donation boxes at information kiosks found on the Whiteway. The funds are used to provide ongoing maintenance of the track throughout the winter months. Club members are also covered by group insurance through Cross Country BC while using the Whiteway. Visit www.tobycreeknordic.ca for more information. To learn more about the Whiteway, watch the official video on YouTube by searching “World’s Longest Ice Skating Trail - The Whiteway - Take Me There.”

The Whiteway accommodates both classic and skate cross country skiing techniques, as well as recreational ice skating, in a mountainous setting that’s second to none.

Originally a 17-kilometre trail, the Whiteway has grown to over 30 kilometres long and six metres wide (for ice skaters).

The Lake Windermere Whiteway has three groomed tracks for ice skaters, classic cross-country skiers and skate skiers.

hat an incredible choice for this year’s Map Book cover,” says publisher Dean Midyette about Paddy Ryan Lakes, the painting by Andrew Kiss that graces the 2015/2016 cover. ”We are pleased that the Columbia Valley Pioneer, together with the Artym Gallery, can play our part by generating funds for another great local cause through the Map Book Cover Project.” As in previous years, the Map Book has teamed up with the Artym Gallery in Invermere to fundraise for a local nonprofit organization by selling reproductions of the cover painting. The Map Book cover project has benefited a different local cause or organization for over a decade, donating thousands of dollars to deserving recipients.

be involved in raising money for another cause that benefits so many people in the valley, locals and visitors alike.” According to the project’s architect Alec Smith, “The new Columbia Valley community facility will provide a new multi-use community hall, multi-purpose room, youth centre, lobby and community living room space. These spaces will be supported by the necessary service and administration spaces as well as a commercial kitchen and useable outdoor spaces.” Replacing the old Invermere Community Hall, which has been in use for almost 70 years, this new space is intended to “accommodate a wide range of uses including performing arts events, music concerts, conferences, meetings and events of various sizes. In addition, the project is designed to accommodate civic events such as public hearings and meetings of various kinds,” adds Smith.

The 2015/2016 cover by landscape artist Andrew Kiss depicts the protected water reservoir just outside Invermere, the Paddy Ryan Lakes. This year, the Artym Gallery and The Pioneer have chosen a cause that brings the community together, in both a metaphorical and a physical sense: the new Columbia Valley Multi-Use Centre in Invermere. “The new community centre will be a meeting place for the whole valley,” says Grey Bradatsch, co-owner of the Artym Gallery with wife Connie Artym-Bradatsch. “This year’s cover project is especially exciting because it allows everyone to become directly involved in the building. Purchasing a reproduction sends funds directly to the new centre.” Co-owner Connie Artym-Bradatsch adds, “Projects like this are what makes for a strong and vibrant community spirit. We are proud to

Intended to be a beacon of sustainability in a social, environmental and economic sense, this building will “be a civic hub, a gathering space for the formal and informal community life of the Columbia Valley as whole,” adds Alec Smith. The Artym Gallery will produce up to 100 giclées priced at $360 each. These high quality reproductions each measure 20” x 16” and this year they will be printed on canvas, stretched and framed. You can view the piece online at www.artymgallery.com. To purchase the giclée of Paddy Ryan Lakes and support this great cause, drop by the Artym Gallery at 934 – 7th Avenue (the main street) in downtown Invermere, or call the gallery at 250-342-7566.

Featured Artist

Andrew Kiss

n the cover of the Columbia Valley Map Book this year is a painting by well-known Canadian painter Andrew Kiss entitled Paddy Ryan Lakes, a piece created from a plein-air painting trip he made to Invermere in 2012. “I really like the area,” says Andrew. “I have done a few pieces from there… there are a lot of spots around the whole valley that are inspiring for compositions.” The painting, Paddy Ryan Lakes, was done from a location overlooking the picturesque body of water that provides Invermere with some of its water, and offers a glimpse of mountain scenery with a rustic human touch in the foreground. Andrew says his “favourite aspect (of the painting) is the way the fence line leads your eye through the image to the mountains in the background.” An artist for over 45 years, Andrew has travelled and painted all over Western Canada as well as different parts of the world. His oil paintings are collected worldwide and his sense of light combined with his fine detail make his work as unique as it is memorable.

He paints both large and small original pieces that can be found all year round at the Artym Gallery. Often inspired by the Columbia Valley and surrounding area, he has a substantial local following. “I grew up and lived in B.C. for 48 years, so it’s going home to a familiar place,” he says about his frequent trips to the Columbia Valley. “I like the laid back lifestyle and the different landscapes.” Andrew is “very happy and honoured” to be chosen for the cover of the 2015 Columbia Valley Map Book, with the sale of the reproductions of the cover art going to the Columbia Valley Multi-Use Centre. “I am thrilled to be involved with such a worthwhile project that will benefit the vibrant community of Invermere,” he said. As a Canadian landscape painter, Andrew says he wants to “have people appreciate the beauty and wonder of our western landscape; not to take it for granted, but to enjoy.” In creating pieces such as Paddy Ryan Lakes, it is clear that he has succeeded in this lofty goal.
