Castlegar
The second most important town in the Kootenays, Castlegar is the transportation hub of the area, home to the West Kootenay Regional Airport. It is located in the Selkirk Mountains at the confluence of the Kootenay River and the Columbia River. Castlegar is an important commercial centre, one of the Top 8 Places in British Columbia for economic growth.
The grape vines, incredible natural wilderness, hot summers and snowy winters have made Castlegar a top destination for tourism and business. But it’s Castlegar’s people that give this big-small town its charm. We are proud to serve the people of Castlegar and surrounding area. See what our customers say…
