Trail - Little League to Big Innovation
|
Just ask the physicians who live here:
|
Are you looking to relocate to a smaller city, without having to compromise on those little, but oh-so important things?
Of course you want affordable housing and a short commute. Of course you want to leave traffic and parking woes behind. You also want a thriving medical practice with access to a great teaching hospital. Those are a given. But it’s about so much more than choosing a good place for you to work. You want great parks and playing fields, a well-equipped aquatic facility and library. You want four seasons of sports teams and activities, and quality schools for your kids. You want to know that your spouse will find work too, whether that’s in tech, engineering, industry or education. On the banks of the mighty Columbia River, the City of Trail offers so much more than a great hospital for you to work. Strong employers, community-mindedness, little league and big innovation. Parks and facilities that you’d expect to see in a much larger center. Sweeping views four seasons of the year. An airport that will get you to Vancouver or Calgary in under an hour. Hiking trails, golf courses, and even a vineyard. There’s a rich tradition of gardening and food-preservation here, and a locally-owned grocery store, Ferraro Foods, that is renowned for its selection of store-made and imported foods (not to mention cooking demos and sampling multiple times a week in Ferraro’s Cucina). |
ROSSLAND: STOREFRONTS, START-UPS AND BIG ADVENTURE
Less than a 15 minute drive from Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, the village of Rossland may seem quaint at first glance. With its main street dotted with heritage brick buildings, charming shops, cafes and restaurants, it would be understandable if you thought of it as a nice place to spend an afternoon.
Rossland is that, and so much more. In fact, one of those storefronts is an innovative tech start up, which helps organizations consult, discuss and solve complex problems. (You’ll find it right next to the local chocolate shop, across from the independent grocery store, and just down the street from the recently renovated community library.)
Six minutes away, downtown Rossland’s pocket-sized charm turns into a whopping, oversized adventure. RED Mountain Resort has 300 inches of annual snowfall, 3000 feet of vertical drop, and a ski and snowboard school for all ages and abilities. It’s been voted the Best Ski Town in North America, and yet has managed its growth in a way that maintains a low-key “vibe”.
Summer and fall, local powderhounds turn to hiking, trail running and mountain biking for fun and adventure. With over 200km of professionally-maintained single track trails, and the only IMBA-certified Epic Trail in the country, Rossland is called the mountain bike capital of Canada for a reason. And if you like your adventures a little lower adrenaline, there is hiking along the breathtaking Seven Summits Trail, or golf at Redstone Resort, or a latte and chat at the Alpine Grind.
