Job Description

About Grand Forks

Situated at the confluence of the Kettle and Granby Rivers in the southern interior, Grand Forks is known for its Okanagan weather and Kootenay lifestyle.

We are a small community of friendly yet engaged citizens situated in a sunny river valley surrounded by mountains and  lakes.

There are opportunities for a diverse range of winter and summer outdoor recreation  opportunities.

From a small kid- friendly ski hill and accessible bike trails to extreme downhill biking, sledding, and backcountry adventure.

Enjoy the food security delivered by the growing agricultural sector in the valley or the warmest tree-lined lake in Canada.

We’ve got the weather, we’ve got the food, we’ve got the fun.

What are you waiting for!
