MEMBERS PAGE OUR TOWN: DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS Sicamous is poised for new growth as a place to live, work, invest and visit. The District recently completed a rebranding exercise that includes a vision for the community that is focused on encouraging both sustainability and growth for local businesses. This drive for new business is being embedded in the Official Community Plan and through actions such as tax incentives and new partnerships. The revitalized brand for Sicamous reflects a new generation. The bright, fresh brand is captured in a classic, timeliness new logo and visual language to share the excitement of the location and the people who live here. With the new brand in place, Sicamous is now embarking on an advertising campaign to pitch Sicamous to the world. Our healthy, clean lifestyle combined with business opportunities away from the hustle of a big city are just a few of the ways that Sicamous is serious about business combined with a seriously fun lifestyle.
After a rebranding exercise, Sicamous is embarking on an advertising campaign showcasing its healthy, clean lifestyle, business opportunities away from the big city and other features.
It’s easy to understand why vacationers love this community as it’s situated right where Shuswap Lake connects to Mara Lake. Travelers driving along Highway 1 on one side and Highway 97 on the other side soon realize there’s no reason to carry on – Sicamous has everything they could look for.

Known for years as the Houseboat Capital of Canada, Sicamous attracts in excess of 40,000 people who come to vacation on our lakes, and an additional 15,000 residents make the community their home during the summer season. We also have an abundance of mountain biking, hiking, and all lake sports. In the winter, the community is home to multiple winter sporting activities thanks to its central location bordered by four mountain ranges – Owls Head, Gueest, Eagle Valley Pass, Blue Lake and Hunters Range. Voted Best Snowmobiling in Western Canada in 2017, Sicamous is attracting new winter adventurers, as well as outdoor enthusiasts who come to enjoy snow shoeing on local trails and downhill skiing at resorts in the area. Sicamous residents are all very proud to call Sicamous home, and the dedicated District team members are committed to creating positive change for all residents, with a major focus on environment, health care, wellness and education. We are excited about our town, and we want to share that excitement and this lifestyle! Sicamous – live more!
