Our region, the West Kootenay, is in the south-eastern part of British Columbia, along the US border with Washington and Idaho.
Off the beaten track, you might say. Which is just how we like it. When you come to the Kootenay Boundary, you can expect to leave some things behind. Crowds, for one. Even on a bluebird powder day at RED Mountain or Whitewater Resort, we don’t wait in line much. And we can always find a parking spot.
We don’t do long commutes. We don’t wait in traffic. We know our neighbours. And housing is still relatively affordable here compared to many parts of the province.
But don’t worry. There’s plenty you won’t have to leave behind. All the amenities you need (including lightning fast internet) and the good food and great coffee you want. Tucked away restaurants, charming shops, locally-owned grocery stores stocked with wholesome foods. Quality schools with options for private, alternative, French, Waldorf or home-schooling. Sports and activities for the kids. Burgeoning economies with career opportunities for your spouse.
It’s true we’re a long way from major city centres – 300km from Spokane, 600 from Vancouver or Calgary. We’ve come to see that distance as an advantage. We like to think we’re just far enough away. (And with daily flights to Vancouver and Calgary, we know we can get back whenever we want.)
Here, there’s space for you. (And we really mean that. Population density in the Kootenay Boundary is 3 people per square kilometre.)
First Nations people from the Ktunaxa, Secwepemc, Sinixt and Syilx Nations have lived in, traveled through, and utilized the land known as Kootenay Boundary for millennia. Each valley and community is shaped by history, people and landscape; by lakes, rivers and creeks; by ranch land, farmland or orchards.
Whether you prefer your mountain terrain to be measured by vertical drop and number of black diamond descents, whether on skis, board, or bike, there’s more than enough choice for you here. Find a community that’s just right for you. The perfect reflection of how you think life should be.
But how will you decide?
