Kimberley

(pop. 6,100)



Kimberley is a tight-knit, four-season resort community in the Kootenay Rockies region of British Columbia. The city is the centre around which the outdoors and outside experiences connect us and keep our lives in balance. We wake each morning feeling blessed by the views around us. It is where we live and what surrounds us that defines us. It creates our purpose and makes the city and the people so vibrant.

The 800 hectare (1800 acre) Kimberley Nature Park is one of the largest municipal parks in Canada. Located entirely within the City boundaries, its varied terrain and diverse ecosystems provide endless opportunities for recreation and education.

At an impressive elevation of 1,110m/3,642 ft, Kimberley's altitude, often sunny skies and impressive amount of snowfall means it's a favoured ski/snowboard destination in the Kootenay Rockies. The Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Kimberley Nordic Centre are located just minutes from "downtown" (note that this busy "downtown" has only one traffic light!).

Close to Kimberley are a myriad of lakes, rivers (including the St. Mary River) and streams that offer excellent fishing, rafting and boating opportunities. Natural mineral hot springs can be found close by (great for a soak after a long day!), and there are numerous city and provincial parks, including Cominco Gardens, not far from the action in town.

Kimberley is also renowned as a golf destination. Its three championship courses – Bootleg Gap, Trickle Creek and Kimberley Golf Course are visitor favourites and are ranked among the top places to visit here. Expect challenging courses, and breathtaking and unrestricted vistas of the valley.

Kimbeley's focus on developing sport facilities that exceed the needs of disabled athletes makes the community the ideal location for training and event hosting for all athletes.

Let the spirit of Kimberley inspire you!
