Town of Golden - Mayor's Message

On behalf of the Town of Golden and its council, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our town's website and thank you for your interest in our "authentic" community.

Serving an area population of over 8,000, the Town of Golden is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most desired places to live and work in south eastern British Columbia. Located on the Trans Canada Highway, our economy is well diversified for our size, with the forest industry, railway repair yards and tourism sector all contributing to ensure a community of people with many backgrounds and interests.

We are surprisingly diverse in culture and vibrancy. As a friendly and active community, Golden and the surrounding area can provide you with an amazing level of structured sports and limitless outdoor adventure opportunities, as well as an impressive and growing range of cultural programming, including indoor and outdoor performances and events.

Whether a resident, visitor or business person, I know that you will appreciate all that Golden has to offer, including the spectacularly beautiful natural setting and the small town charm and friendliness. The finest asset of our community is definitely the people. Golden's locals display unprecedented community spirit and give countless hours behind the scenes to make this a great place to be.

A community true to its roots, our positioning as a place of "authentic, community, adventure" captures why our residents live here, and why many others are trying to!

As the Mayor of the Town of Golden, I would like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to explore our vibrant and innovative community. Again, thank you for visiting our website. I encourage you to visit it often to find out all of the new and exciting changes throughout the year.

Christina Benty, Mayor
Town of Golden
