Area F (Columbia Lake/Windermere Lake)

Area F has served as a rural electoral area in British Columbia’s East Kootenay since the 1960s. It occupies part of the Columbia Valley in the Rocky Mountain Trench, where the Columbia River runs north from Columbia Lake between the Rockies and the Purcell Mountains. Rather than one town, the area is a spread of rural properties, small communities and recreation sites. Fairmont Hot Springs, known for its naturally heated mineral pools, is among the valley’s established destinations. Local roads link agricultural land and lakeshore areas with access to the surrounding mountains.
