Grand Forks
Grand Forks’ sprawling hills, treed mountains and shady river set the back drop for the cultural and commercial centre of the Boundary Country. Enjoy a unique combination of ambient small town charm and urban convenience. Grand Forks provides a strong commitment to healthy living and great quality of life with abundant out door opportunities, local fitness and recreational facilities and engaging, easygoing community. Soak up the sun in the summer during an afternoon on Christina Lake or traverse the local trails on horseback. When the snow falls head to nearby Phoenix Mountain for skiing or stroll through the quaint downtown core and marvel at the decorations and sea of Christmas lights.
