Salmon Arm

(pop. 16,000)



Salmon Arm is situated at the most southern point of the Shuswap Lake, in the heart of beautiful British Columbia. Conveniently located on the Trans Canada Highway approximately halfway between Calgary and Vancouver, Salmon Arm is the largest community within the Shuswap Lake system.

Salmon Arm's mild four-season climate, outstanding natural beauty, clean waterways, abundant green space and pristine provincial parks have established the Shuswap as a world famous recreation area. Salmon Arm also sustains a flourishing cultural community, providing a dazzling array of opportunities for enjoyment and participation by residents and visitors alike.

Salmon Arm offers amenities that are normally associated with much larger population centres. In the winter, four major alpine ski resorts are all located within a two hour drive and locally the surrounding hills provide world renowned cross-country skiing and snowmobiling terrain. Salmon Arm also has a curling club, squash and racquetball courts, fitness centres, an indoor community pool and gym, two NHL-sized ice rinks, an indoor soccer arena, high quality tennis courts and nationally renowned golf course.
