Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality

Tucked into the Purcell Mountains of southeastern British Columbia, Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality is a place whose character is shaped by high alpine terrain, glaciers and long winters. This remote area lies in a range west of the Columbia River valley, where rugged ridges and icefields dominate rather than settled streets. It was incorporated in 2012 as a mountain resort municipality to serve the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort, an unusual administrative experiment in a site with no permanent population. The municipality was dissolved in 2021, but its name remains associated with plans for resort development in the Purcells.
