Castlegar

Castlegar combines a working river-valley setting with a strong Doukhobor legacy in a way that reflects its position at the meeting of the Columbia and Kootenay rivers in southeastern British Columbia. The city lies in the West Kootenay, where forested slopes and broad river corridors shape travel routes and daily life. Doukhobor settlers shaped communities in the surrounding valley during the early 20th century, and the Doukhobor Discovery Centre interprets that heritage through collections and historic buildings. Castlegar is also known for Sculpturewalk, an annual outdoor exhibition that brings contemporary sculpture into its downtown streets.
