It felt like coming home...

From their very first impression, many describe Nelson as "home", like the safe unspoiled home of childhood.

The granite museum/art gallery and ivy-covered court house typify the strength and stability of Nelson. Nelson has forged ahead at its own steady pace through the ups and downs of the larger economy. No booms or busts, just measured progress, with time to take care and time to choose the best ways to grow.

Life in the Kootenays is precious and those of us lucky enough to experience it know that there is nothing like it. Our community is committed to maintaining a fun and healthy lifestyle in a small town environment with access to big city amenities.
