Kootenay Rockies
It could be the grandeur of the mountains. Or the unforgettable colours of the autumn leaves. It seems that everyone who comes to the Rockies experiences a renewed love of nature. Located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia, this awe-inspiring region challenges adventure-seekers, provides relaxation to the world-weary and affords history buffs opportunities to learn about Canada's last frontier. In winter, the area's a magnet for skiers and snowboarders. Spring's warm days are ideal for golf and cycling. Favourite summer pastimes include riding the rapids of Kicking Horse River or swimming in Kootenay Lake. Twelve major parks, the jewels in the crown of this popular region, beckon year-round discovery.
British Columbia's patient-centred health care system is structured to achieve the highest possible levels of efficiency, service co-ordination, and accountability. The Rockies geographic region is made up of two health authorities; Interior Health and Provincial Health Services.
