Did You Know?

We have a proud 120-year history: Kimberley was started in 1896 and Cranbrook in 1898.

Here in B.C., we have some of the lowest electricity rates in North America, with the majority supplied by hydropower. Like many communities in B.C., our region’s electricity needs are met by BC Hydro. We also have the largest solar project in the province, which sells electricity to the grid. Our region’s natural gas provider is FortisBC.
