The Nelson lifestyle is unlike any other.

Surrounded by pristine mountains and centered by a placid lake, Nelson is known as one of the most beautiful places in Canada. Each season brings new sports and activities: Sailing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking are just a few of the activities in and around Nelson. As well as outdoor activities, the Nelson has active Aquatic, Civic, and Youth centres.

Nelson is Culture! Take a world-class performance at the restored Capitol Theatre. Peruse the quaint shops on famous Baker Street – from trendy to traditional, you'll find it. Sample Nelson's sumptuous palate of dining experiences. There are over 40 restaurant choices from cappuccino and croissant to gourmet dining.
