On-Mountain
- With the final stages of the Kimberley Conference & Athletic Training Centre (www.meetkimberley.ca) being completed, this $6-million, 24,000 sq ft, fully accessible conference centre will be the largest conference facility in Eastern British Columbia. It is located directly at the ski base, metres away from the North Star Express chairlift at Kimberley Alpine Resort. The resort owner and operator, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR), is a major contributor to the project alongside Columbia Basin Trust and the City of Kimberley with additional support from both federal and provincial infrastructure grants. Designed to exceed BC energy efficiency standards by more than 30%, and constructed entirely of local BC timber, this eco-friendly, multi-use conference and meeting space will facilitate up to 500 people (theatre-style seating) or 350 people (banquet style) and will be used as a year-round venue. The building will have 4 breakout meeting rooms, office space, and the latest in information and communication technology capabilities.

The pathway replaces the old mining railway that originated in 1913 to produce railway connections for the mines including the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley BC.  Since the closure of the mine in 2001, there has been a push to create a green-way for emission free travel. The path is great way to bike, inline, run, or even walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Kimberley has to offer. It is accessible for all ages and wheelchair accessible.
