Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre
With the new 24,000-square-foot Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre, is scheduled to open this September. The City is hoping to attract companies looking for a first-class space for trade shows, conferences and other events, with the added mountain lifestyle features offered in the surrounding area.
“Kimberley has world-class recreation facilities right here,” said Heather Hornoi, economic development officer for the City of Kimberley. “Most conferences have pre-and-post activities, and we’re known for our golf courses…. We want to take that reputation and expand it to a first-class business destination.”
The Conference Centre itself will be the largest of its kind in the Kootenay Region. The centre will accommodate a 350-person banquet-style seated dinner or a 500-person theatre-style seated event with four break-out rooms and advanced audiovisual capabilities. This facility will enable organizations and businesses to host major conferences and seminars, where individuals can come together to learn, exchange ideas and share knowledge.
While the conference centre will be housed on the bottom floor, a training centre for nordic, alpine, curling and sledge hockey athletes will take up the main floor, in addition to an aquatic centre. “The facilities complement each other,” says Hornoi.
Athletes could train while at the same time holding awards ceremonies, for example, while companies could use the facilities for team-building exercises. “Put your work team on sledges (small sleds with blades used by Paralympic hockey athletes) and see what team can get from one side to the other with support from their group,” says Hornoi. “It’s about building that camaraderie.”
The completion of this venue, and the people that it is sure to attract will have a positive impact on local businesses and accommodators like Kimberley Accommodations who represent Timberstone and Sullivan Stone Luxury Condos.
Business in Cranbrook is steadily growing.
This last winter saw several expansions of large chains in Cranbrook BC. First being the addition of a second Tim Hortons on the strip – located in the Tamarack Mall Parking lot.
Also at the Tamarack Mall is brand new Boston Pizza. This venue is a free standing building located on the strip. A and newly expanded Shoppers which now offers groceries as well.
With all the expansion going on at the Tamarack Mall, it is little wonder that it caught the attention of Artis Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: AX.UN).
“We believe this is an ideal time for Artis to acquire high quality assets in solid western Canadian markets, assets like Production Court that enhance the overall quality and profile of our portfolio, in addition to being accretive to our unitholders,” said Armin Martens, CEO of Artis REIT.
It is an enclosed shopping centre occupied by national tenants including Zellers, Winners, Shoppers Drugmart and Staples. Together with the newly developed Boston Pizza and Tim Hortons pad sites, the centre comprises 287,741 square feet of rentable area and is 96.7% leased.
The City of Cranbrook is the largest urban community in south-eastern British Columbia. Forestry, mining, manufacturing, tourism, trade services, and transportation constitute the basis of the region’s economy.

There is a measurable prestige when you live in a golf community can also quite often translate into more social and business opportunities. You will find yourself joining a ready-made community of high achievers who share your values.
Within the tight knit community you are sure to find that social and networking opportunities will continue to abound, facilitating those times when you are ready to make a change and move up in the world. These upscale communities attract more affluent buyers who value the quality of life increases that come from enhanced recreational opportunities and living in a beautiful area.
Protecting the buyers investment is community guidelines for property development. By requiring new houses to conform to standards helps to ensure that all the houses and landscaping are complementary and in harmony with the community development plan.
As the game of golf continues to increase in popularity, you can expect a trend in higher demands in this growing segment. The supply of these building sites is limited. Purchasers that lock into a golf house property will enjoy a wide variety of investment and lifestyle benefits.
