About Regional District of Central Kootenay
The area
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) covers about 22,100 km² of southeastern British Columbia and had about 62,500 people in 2021. It is mountain and lake country: the Selkirk, Purcell and Monashee ranges, with Kootenay Lake, the Arrow Lakes and Slocan Lake filling the valleys, and the Kootenay and Columbia rivers meeting at Castlegar. Nelson (about 11,100 in 2021) is the largest municipality, followed by Castlegar and Creston, which sits near the US border at the south end of Kootenay Lake. Six villages (Kaslo, Nakusp, New Denver, Salmo, Silverton and Slocan) and eleven rural electoral areas, A to K, make up the rest.
History
The City of Nelson recognizes the land as the unceded territory of the Sinixt, Syilx and Ktunaxa peoples; the Yaqan Nukiy (Lower Kootenay Band) of the Ktunaxa Nation is near Creston. A copper-silver find on Toad Mountain in 1886 started the rush that founded Nelson, and gold drew settlers to Salmo in 1896. Lumber overtook mining as Nelson's main industry early on, and forestry still matters.
Services and access
Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, just outside the district, is the regional hospital with 24-hour emergency and trauma care. Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, Arrow Lakes Hospital in Nakusp and Creston Valley Hospital run 24-hour emergency departments, though Creston's has closed overnight at times for staffing. Highway 3 (the Crowsnest) and Highway 6 meet at Salmo, about 30 minutes from Nelson and Castlegar. Highway 3A runs east from Nelson to the Kootenay Lake ferry at Balfour, 35 km away, which crosses to Kootenay Bay in 35 minutes. Scheduled flights (Air Canada) use West Kootenay Regional Airport at Castlegar.
Land and climate
In BC, household use of creek or lake water is covered by a provincial water licence; a domestic well needs no licence, and the province encourages owners to register it. Nelson runs its own electric utility, Nelson Hydro.
Before you buy
The RDCK issues building permits in all eleven electoral areas and in the six villages; Nelson, Castlegar and Creston have their own building departments. Zoning differs by electoral area (comprehensive land use bylaws, official community plans with zoning bylaws, or plan only), so check the bylaw for the exact area. The RDCK subdivision and floodplain bylaws apply everywhere, and development permit areas add conditions in some places. Some land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, where farming comes first and houses are limited; check the Agricultural Land Commission map. The RDCK runs a FireSmart program with free wildfire assessments, including for bare land before building.
