Imagine Kootenay

The Kootenay region is home to many communities, some high in the mountains, some alongside beautiful lakes or rivers, others on fertile agricultural land. All of them unique.
Located in the southeast corner of B.C., the Kootenays are still something of a hidden gem. With 11 ski resorts, nine natural hot springs, and 58 provincial parks, the region is a wilderness paradise. It’s no wonder that a growing number of people are relocating to the area from urban centres like Vancouver and Calgary.

Resources are the backbone of the Kootenay economy, while the tourism and technology sectors are on the rise. There is a diverse job market and a culture of entrepreneurship.

Megan Adams moved from California to Invermere, where she runs The Mountain Hub co-working space.
