What to know

Safe and Trusted Canada connects Canadian consumers and businesses. Our website is in English; use your browser’s translation feature to view it in another language.  We are BBB accredited. See our BBB report

We create Information Only Profiles from publicly available business information. Business owners can manage their information through their own account or request removal.  Consumers can search by business name, location, phone number, services and Trust Factors. City and Town listings identify communities served, while Trade Areas include surrounding communities. Every business can access any trade area in Canada. A contractor can access other trade areas, but may need a municipal license for those areas. A company that markets to other trade areas to draw consumers to its business location needs a municipal license only for its trade area. Trade areas include cities and towns. The number of city or town trade areas depends on the subscription type and whether the business purchases extra trade areas with Extended Visibility.  The letters TA after a city or town name identify a trade area.  For example, Saskatoon TA can include Saskatoon and the surrounding area. Some cities and towns just outside major centres are designated as separate Trade Areas because of their population, location, or because they serve a local population area.

Business details
Golden is a town in southeastern British Columbia, Canada, located 262 kilometres (163 miles) west of Calgary, Alberta and 713 kilometres (443 miles) east of Vancouver. Much of the town's history is tied into the Canadian Pacific Railway and the logging industry. Today, the town's economy still relies heavily on those two influences, but the development of Kicking Horse Resort, along with other outdoor adventure companies, has allowed the town to diversify into tourism. Mt.7 which is just south-east of town is popular with paragliding, hang gliding, and mountain biking enthusiasts. Golden is also home to one of the campuses of the College of the Rockies.

Golden is nestled in the Columbia Valley built around the confluence of the Columbia River and Kicking Horse River, surrounded by three different mountain ranges and five National Parks; Yoho National Park, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Glacier National Park, and Kootenay National Park. As of 2006, Golden had a population of 3,811.

During the spring, summer and fall, hiking, fishing and camping are very popular in Golden. In addition to the six national parks surrounding Golden, there are many other areas that have trails and recreational areas.

Golden even has a network of walking and cycling trails that are maintained within the Golden town site. We also have several parks, both natural and developed, for the enjoyment of locals and visitors. You can also stay the night at the Golden campground along the Kicking Horse River.

For those with a taste for more adventurous sports, hang gliding, paragliding, and extreme mountain biking are very popular. There are several white water rafting companies that offer packages for rafting on the Kicking Horse River. Kayakers also enjoy the Kicking Horse River and those looking for a slower pace can float the Columbia River and view the fabulous Columbia River Wetlands. Numerous small lakes surround Golden providing boating and fishing opportunities.

Golden also has a thriving arts and culture community. We have a wide range of local artists and musicians that have proven to be very talented. There are special events throughout the year that showcase our local talent. Kicking Horse Culture is a multi-faceted developing organization that sponsors some local events and celebrations and brings in talent from other areas. Click on the link www.kickinghorseculture.ca to see what's coming soon. You can spend some time browsing the local galleries and museum or check out a movie at the local movie theater. Besides the activities available, we also have the College of the Rockies, a local hospital, seniors’ residences and emergency services. Two of the things that attract people to Golden are the small town atmosphere and friendly people. Many of the residents have lived in Golden their entire lives while others were drawn here by the quality of life.
