Salmon Arm, BC

Located in the heart of the Shuswap area, the District Municipality of Salmon Arm offers visitors the amenities of a city with the homegrown charm of a small town. Play a round at the local golf course, fish off the pier, shop in the downtown area, or roll out your beach towel for a relaxing day at Canoe Beach on Shuswap Lake. Whatever you choose, Salmon Arm awaits with a smile.

For a look into the local history, take a free tour through the RJ Haney Heritage Park. Look at the displays inside the museum before roaming the 16-hectare (40-acre) grounds, past a pioneer farmhouse and church, and through replicas of the original Salmon Arm Firehall, school, and filling station. In July and August, catch an evening dinner theatre presentation, or meet Saturday nights for a wine and cheese party by the pond. Check their list of weekly events for even more exciting reasons to visit. For a look into the agricultural industry in the Salmon Arm area, why not try a local farm tour? The agri-tourism business flourishes here. From wineries and cheese farms, to alpacas and miniature horses, (with plenty of orchards in between), visitors are welcome to stop in, ask questions, and have a look around. You might even get to sample the local bounty – fresh from the farm!
