The Town of Golden is nestled between the spectacular Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcell mountain range to the west, where the Kicking Horse River flows into the Columbia river. Combining a traditional British Columbia industrial base with a growing tourism sector, Golden attracts a broad cross-section of people from all over the world, who come to work, live, play, and stay. With spectacular scenery and access to numerous parks and wilderness areas, Golden is an enthusiastic mountain town offering plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities and cultural experiences.

For thousands of years, the abundance of the earth’s lands and waters provided us to live, work and play is a result of the ecological wisdom, stewardship and reciprocal relationship of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc peoples whose unceded territory we continue to live, work and play. The area is also the chosen home of the Metis Nation Columbia River.
