The Columbia Valley stretches from the headwaters of the Columbia River in the south to Spillimacheen in the north. It includes the communities of Canal Flats, Invermere and Radium Hot Springs as well as all neighbourhoods within RDEK Areas F & G. This area is the unceded shared territory of the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc people; home to the local communities of ?akisq?nuk First Nation, Shuswap Band and the chosen home of the Columbia Valley Métis.
If you apply in the Columbia Valley region, you must reside in the Columbia Valley (as described above) and your project must take place in the Columbia Valley.
