Area A (Upper Flathead/Elk Valley)

The Elk River defines the setting of Area A in British Columbia’s Elk Valley — its corridor has shaped settlement, transport and industry between the Canadian Rockies. This rural part of the Regional District of East Kootenay lies within the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. Coal mining remains an important force in the valley’s economy, while the river and surrounding forested slopes support fishing, paddling and backcountry recreation.
