Greetings
Welcome to Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort on the traditional homeland of the Ktunaxa people.
Since time immemorial, our people have utilized this site as a place for healing. After battle, warriors would soak in the spirit waters (nupika wu’u) to ease the wounds sustained in the fight to defend this beautiful territory. Those living with other ailments such as arthritis, would utilize the hot pool to find some relief to their pain.
Today, Yaqan Nukiy looks forward to bringing a unique First Nations brand and excellence in customer service to the hospitality industry. The hot springs have been good medicine for many years.
We invite you to experience the power of nature, and hope that you will visit again in the near future.
Sincerely,
M. Jason Louie Nasukin Yaqan Nukiy. Panoramic views of the Purcell mountain Range and Kootenay Lake
