About Regional District of East Kootenay
The area
The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is the southeastern corner of British Columbia, from the crest of the Purcell Mountains east to the Alberta border and south to the US line. It had about 65,900 people in 2021, about 17,300 of them in the six rural electoral areas. Most of it lies in the Rocky Mountain Trench and its side valleys: the upper Columbia River, which starts at Columbia Lake, the Kootenay River, and the Elk River, which joins the Kootenay in Lake Koocanusa. Cranbrook (about 20,500 in 2021) is the largest city, followed by Kimberley (about 8,100) and Fernie (about 6,300); Sparwood, Elkford, Invermere, Canal Flats and Radium Hot Springs are smaller.
History
This is ʔamakʔis Ktunaxa, homeland of the Ktunaxa Nation, whose ʔaq̓am, ʔakisq̓nuk and Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi'it communities are in the district; the Shuswap Band (Kenpesq't), a Secwépemc community, is near Invermere. The Wild Horse Creek gold rush of 1864 brought settlers, and the railway's arrival in 1898 made Cranbrook the regional centre. Coal mining near Fernie began in 1897, and the Sullivan Mine at Kimberley ran from 1909 to 2001.
Services and access
East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook has 24-hour emergency and trauma care, intensive care and surgery; Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie and Invermere & District Hospital also have 24-hour emergency departments. Highway 3 runs from the Alberta border through Sparwood and Fernie to Cranbrook. Highways 93 and 95 run north to Radium Hot Springs, where Highway 93 crosses Kootenay National Park toward Banff, and Highway 93 runs south from Elko to Montana. Canadian Rockies International Airport near Cranbrook has daily flights to Calgary, Vancouver and Kelowna. The Elk Valley steelmaking coal mines are the largest employer, with over 3,000 local jobs.
Land and climate
In the Columbia Valley the Purcells block much Pacific moisture, so the valley floor is fairly dry with mild, low-snow winters, while the mountains get heavy snow. Rural water comes from a community system, a private utility or a private well. A domestic well needs no provincial licence, though registering it is encouraged; household use of creek or lake water needs provincial authorization.
Before you buy
The RDEK issues building permits in the electoral areas from offices in Cranbrook and Invermere; any structure over about 9 m² (100 sq ft) needs one, and septic systems need a registered practitioner. Zoning bylaws differ by area, so check the one covering the parcel. Floodplain bylaws set elevation and setback rules near water, and places such as Lake Windermere and Fairmont also need development permits. Land in the Agricultural Land Reserve usually allows one principal residence; check the Agricultural Land Commission map. For forested lots, the RDEK runs a FireSmart program with local representatives.
