Columbia-Shuswap County blends lake life, mountain adventure, and welcoming communities into a lifestyle that feels both relaxed and well-connected. On any given day, residents can paddle calm bays on Shuswap Lake, then swap the paddle for skis at the world-class terrain of Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Families appreciate the abundance of parks and trails, with sandy beaches at Shuswap Lake Provincial Park and panoramic viewpoints in Mount Revelstoke National Park. The region’s namesake local government, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, supports year-round recreation, solid infrastructure, and thoughtful planning across diverse communities.
In Salmon Arm, a lively arts scene, farmers’ markets, and the waterfront wharf create an easygoing hub for shopping and dining, while Revelstoke delivers energetic mountain culture, deep snow, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Education options are a strong draw: School District 83 serves the North Okanagan–Shuswap with a range of elementary and secondary schools, and School District 19 supports learners in Revelstoke with innovative programs and small-class attention. Post-secondary learners can stay close to home at the Okanagan College Salmon Arm campus, offering academic pathways and in-demand trades.
