Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre

The City of Kimberley is pleased to announce that the construction of the long awaited Conference and Athlete Training Centre is well underway. This project is a great example of what can be accomplished through the development of meaningful partnerships with a common goal and vision. Our partners include: the Federal Government, the Provincial Government, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, Columbia Basin Trust, New Dawn Developments and their many sub-trades and BCMP Architects. We also recognize and commend the volunteer advisory committee members, who have championed this project from conception.

The Conference Centre itself will be the largest of its kind in the Kootenay Region. It will accommodate 350 person banquet style or 500 person theatre style events, provide a large pre-function area and 4 breakout rooms. This facility will enable organizations and businesses to host major conferences and seminars, where individuals can come together to learn, exchange ideas and share knowledge.

With an anticipated completion date of late 2010, the marketing of this facility has begun. The City is working with RCR, who will provide the food and beverage services for the Centre, and the Kimberley Community Development Society, who will take on the management of the Centre, to develop an operational plan that will ensure a model of seamless service delivery. Currently all inquiries are managed through the City of Kimberley Economic Development Office at 250-427-9666 or via email hhornoi@city.kimberley.bc.ca.
