to Kimberley, B.C. We hope you stay a while.

Kimberley is one of the fastest growing communities in British Columbia, with a population of just over 7400 people. People are drawn to Kimberley for so many reasons; it’s beautiful, friendly, offers a myriad of recreation and lifestyle activities; miles of hiking and biking trails; great schools and recreation facilities.

Kimberley is progressive. It’s home to one of the largest solar facilities in western Canada — the Kimberley SunMine.

Kimberley is a ski town that really is a ski town. The Kimberley Alpine Resort is right in town, not several kilometres away.

You can be at the lift from anywhere in Kimberley in less than five minutes.

Kimberley has three world class golf courses; a summer full of festivals, an outdoor farmers market, a mining railway, a kids spray park, a beautiful public garden, library, museum and an 800 hectare Nature Park.

And it’s surrounded by some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. You can camp, fish, hunt and hike to your heart’s content in the beautiful Purcell and Rocky Mountains.

The summers are warm and sunny, the winters are mild and snowy.

Getting here is easy. The area is serviced by the Canadian Rockies International Airport with daily flights from Calgary and Vancouver as well as charters. We are only a four hour drive from Calgary and within an hour and a half of the Canada U.S. border.

Come visit Kimberley, and stay a while.

90 Years of Tradition For the past 90 years the Kimberley Pipe Band has been an integral part of most major parades and festivals held in the Kootenay region and beyond.

Every 10 years, since their 50th anniversary they have hosted a major music and marching performance known as a Tattoo.

The heart of Kimberley’s downtown is the the Platzl, a flowerfilled pedestrian-only block and a half full of unique shops and restaurants. There’s a whole new feel to the Platzl in recent years as new businesses have opened.

The 2017 Kimberley Pipe Band’s 90th Anniversary Tattoo on July 15, 2017 will feature a 2 hour show of music, pipes, drums and dancing; a street parade featuring

over 200 drummers and pipers; a Saturday night Ceilah - an evening party of music and dancing.

Cominco Gardens were established in 1927 to showcase the wonders of Cominco’s Elephant Brand fertilizer.

Featuring almost 50,000 blossoms, Cominco Gardens sit on five hectares in Townsite near the Health Centre. Long the site of the annual graduation photos and the backdrop for many a wedding, the Gardens are celebrating 90 years in Kimberley this summer.

Keep an eye out for live music in the gazebo, play a game of life-size chess or ping pong, or sit on an outdoor patio and enjoy. And don’t forget to check out the big cuckoo clock. You might see Happy Hans!

Kimberley’s downtown is all walkable with river crossings accessed over new timber-framed bridges.

The path of Mark Creek through the downtown area has been completely rehabbed over the past few years, and now offers great places to picnic or swim on a hot summer day. Or throw in a line and see if you can catch a trout.

You can walk to other attractions from the Platzl, like Cominco Gardens just up a trail, or the downtown station of the Underground Mining Railway is just down the road.

Kimberley’s storied hockey franchise has been playing, in one form or another, since 1931. Currently the Dynamiters are a Junior B team playing in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Dynamiter home games at the Civic Centre are the place to be on winter evenings. The team has had

great success in recent years, and excitement abounds at home games, especially when they play their rivals the Fernie Ghostriders.

There is nothing like a bluebird winter day in Kimberley. Deep blue skies, blindingly white snow, incredible powder on the ski runs and smiling faces everywhere.
