Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a small town (pop. 5000) located in a beautiful river valley (pop. 15000) near the end of a very large lake (Kootenay Lake) in the heart of the Rocky mts. in the south-east corner of British Columbia about 10 kms from the U.S.A. (Idaho) border. This is mostly a fruit farming region (cherries, apples, plums, etc.). Many tourist activities are nearby: boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, golfing, scenic drives. We also have a major Wildlife Centre (nature, canoe rides) that attracts people from around the world. Creston is also an excellent home base for day trips or longer to such places as Banff, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, Fort Steele (old west Fort), Ainsworth and Fairmont hot Springs, etc.. Please strongly consider our exchange offer for summer 2016. Our e-mail address is dsteve.1@telus .net.
