B.C.’S #1 SPORTS TOWN Our sports-minded, volunteer community is renowned for its ability to host successful, major sporting events, utilizing some of the best top-tier sports facilities in the province.

In 2011, we invite you to join us as we co-host the BC Seniors Games.

GREENING Each year, our enthusiastic Communities in Bloom volunteers partner with the City and TECK, to undertake community heritage projects as well as plant stunning flowerbeds and pots. Not only were we the overall winner for our population category, but the community also received National recognition for its historic mural venture.

A PROSPEROUS FUTURE The foundation of Trail’s vibrant economy is the TECK LeadZinc Smelter complex. Firebird Semiconductors Ltd is another component of Trail’s stable economy.

In 2010 this global technology company broke ground on new 40,000 sq. ft. facility. Other local corporations in our area have partnered in a project to construct a second powerhouse at the Waneta Dam. This $900 million expansion will see the addition of 400 jobs and is expected to inject $200 million in direct wages into the region. Trail offers a skilled workforce, challenging jobs and enviable lifestyle. In a nutshell, we are open for business and poised to grow!

Communities in Bloom With lush gardens and colourful flowers proudly adorning city streets and tucked away on hillside terraces, it’s easy to see why Trail is a “5 Bloom” community. This prestigious National Award is granted to communities who show a commitment to beautifying their city, practicing sustainability and creating community spirit.

Part of this honourable designation was for Trail’s outstanding work on the Historic Murals Project and their lovingly tended gardens. 2010 is the second time Trail has won this award (2006), thanks to the dedication of the hardworking volunteers involved in the project. trail.ca | communitiesinbloom.ca Photo: Brian Findlow

2011 BC Seniors Games If you’re travelling to the West Kootenays in the summer of 2011, be sure to plan a stop in Nelson, Trail and Castlegar during the week of August 16 – 20 for the highly anticipated BC Seniors Games. These exciting Games will host 3,200 competitors, aged 55+ in a fun-filled week of community spirit, great friendships and good-natured challenges. Participants and spectators are expected from all over BC—and possibly further—as preparation and anticipation grows for this spectacular event.

Striving to create an environment where everyone can come together to share laughs and generally have a great time supporting a united cause, the Games are comprised of 26 events, divided between the three cities. Along with athletic sports like tennis, slo-pitch and swimming, the Games will also host activities like card games, darts and one-act plays. These top-level competitions take place annually in a different BC city each year and are recognized as one of the largest Games organized within the province.

Highlights for this year’s Games include provincial and world-record holders in attendance, as well as great community buzz and excitement during the week’s events.

For Trail’s part, the city will host archery, darts, ice curling and five pin bowling, in addition to a local Italian favourite, bocce ball. Expected to generate huge interest is the new sport of “pickleball,” which is similar to badminton, tennis and table tennis, all rolled into one tension-filled game!

So whether you’re two years old or 102, this is going to be the event of the summer and you don’t want to miss it! For more information, visit bcseniorsgames.org, or enquire at local Visitor Centres, as well as trailchamber.bc.ca and trail.ca.

Outdoor Beauty: Murals, Rock Walls & Staircases Adventurous art lovers will love “mural hunting,” “rock wall scouting” and “covered staircase climbing” around the Greater Trail area. With eight large-scale murals painted on various buildings and dozens of carefully crafted retaining rock walls scattered throughout, Trail’s historic legacy is proudly displayed for all to see. Commissioned by the City of Trail and painted by professional muralists Steven Skolka and Tyler Toews of Canadian Murals, these colourful installations tell the story of vibrant industry, dedicated athletes, gorgeous scenery and the close-knit community who celebrate their city’s culture. In addition to these beautiful murals, the city’s rock walls each tell a tale of the hard working hands that lovingly placed each individual stone. Playfully named after foods common to the rock workers’ nationalities, you’ll love spending the day exploring these impressive walls. Trail’s famous covered staircases add a unique European flair to the city and happily protect citizens from the abundant winter snow and occasional rainy days.

They are a beautiful part of the city and indeed have been commemorated by numerous local artists.

Living Legacy

In addition to producing some of the world’s best athletes, the City of Trail is also recognized for producing world-class resources.

It’s a little-known fact that the Teck Lead-Zinc Smelter is one of the world’s largest operations of its kind, and indeed Trail’s global impact can be seen all over the world and even in the homes of Olympic medal winners! As the exclusive supplier of the metals used in the production of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games medals, Teck Resources Limited ensured Trail’s spot in Olympic history.

Moreover, the Olympic medals were the first to contain metals recovered from end-of-life electronics (“e-waste”) making them part of combined sustainability philosophies, practices and commitments from the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Teck Resources and the City of Trail.

Indeed, Trail is rich with history, yet poised for its sparkling bright future.

P

oised on the brink of an economic boom, Trail is a community geared to action and boasts a vibrant economy in a naturally beautiful mountain setting.

It’s a dream lifestyle, complete with gorgeous summers by the beach and snowy winters on the ski slopes, close to major centres, yet peacefully secluded and serene.

And with recent developments in the technology sector, Trail is on the cutting edge and its growth potential is secure.

Specifically, projects like the Waneta Dam expansion will create 400 new jobs, bringing over $200 million to the community, directly benefitting residents. Moreover, these new jobs will leave a lasting legacy via an injection of skilled trades people through guaranteed apprenticeship programs.

Striving to keep their naturally beautiful location in mind, the expansion project, once completed, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protecting the environment for future generations and protecting environmental harmony.
