  • Investment Package
    Hello!! Castlegar’s location squarely in the middle of Vancouver and Calgary has produced today’s investment opportunity. Castlegar’s competitive advantage lies in its central location, low business costs/cost of living, and outdoor lifestyle. The West Kootenay has a distinct cultural flavour and warmth of humanity that will bring a quick smile to your face… and a lingering feeling of contentment. Lifestyle is not urban rush, but a relaxed mix of outdoor rugged and urban cool. There is a creative undertow to the human tide. Business is important, but the lifestyle dog still wags the business tail. Situated midway between Vancouver and Calgary, the West Kootenay has received less Vancouver/Calgary region investment than the Okanagan and the East Kootenay. This creates a business opportunity and an affordable cost of living that supports the notion that entrepreneurs can both balance the books and balance life. Castlegar’s economic base is stable and diversified (forestry, mining, hydro, government services, retail, tourism). Business conditions are dynamic and affordable. The City is big enough to support full services. But Castlegar knows it can do more and its service centre vision is ambitious. Diversification has two key thrusts: commercial and light industry anchors (we affectionately call this the ‘Big Kahuna Strategy’), and independent entrepreneurs (we affectionately call this the ‘Dilbert Escape’ strategy). www.castlegar.ca happily ever after MAYOR’S LETTER Welcome to Castlegar and the West Kootenay. Having been born and raised in the Castlegar area, it’s easy for me to extol the virtues of Castlegar living. I would prefer to tell you about Castlegar through the eyes of newcomers and Valley explorers I talk to – those who see our culture and geography as tourists, or potential future residents and/or investors.

  • A Thumbnail History of the Nelson Forest Region
    A THUMBNAIL HISTORY OF THE NELSON FOREST REGION In writing history, the historian is always faced with the dilemma of choosing the beginning point of a narrative. The first presence of a government forest management agency in Nelson harkens all the way back to 1897, the same year the City was incorporated. So that’s a pretty good place to start this history, but first, there are some significant events which happened earlier. 1200 BC. Pit houses, roofed with timbers and boughs, are built and used by native people in such strategic fishing locations as Slocan Pool, Zuckerberg Island and Robson. Radiocarbon dating of these wooden structures confirms at least 3200 years of continuous occupation and forest resource use by First Nations; as further archaeological work is done, that date will no doubt be pushed back even farther. 1865. The Land Ordinance of the Colony of British Columbia establishes timber cutting rights on Crown lands without the alienation of the land itself. This is the first important step towards British Columbia’s current system, unique in North America, where the majority of productive forest land is held by the government on behalf of its citizens. 1867. The British North America Act gives provinces jurisdiction over “the management and sale of the Public Lands belonging to the Province and of the Timber and Wood thereon.” In British Columbia, this takes effect when we join Confederation in 1871. Nelson in 1910. Note the rail/ferry dock in the foreground, with a sternwheeler tied up. The grandstand and racetrack (used mainly for footraces) are visible just above the dock.
