Kimberley boosted by investment in multiple projects

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The Smoothest of Highways… The summer long $11m project to resurface the highway 93/95A through Kimberley and replace and beautify sidewalks is completing, much to the pleasure of visitors and locals alike. The project also included replacement of underground drainage pipe networks and should complete this month.

Other local initiatives are progressing nicely including the Peak to Platzl trail project, providing a paved biking and walking trail from just outside Mountain Spirit Resort right down to the city centre.

The Rails to Trails project is also approaching completion, which will mean walkers, bikers and even roller bladers will soon be able to enjoy a paved trail along the previous railway line, all the way from Kimberley to Cranbrook.

AIR SERVICES RECOMMENCE MID-DECEMBER

T
he world’s largest airline and Canada’s newest international airport announced today that winter flights between Salt Lake City, Utah and Cranbrook, British Columbia are set to continue in December. 

 

 

Delta Air Lines will be flying into the Canadian Rockies International Airport three times a week starting on December 19th with the service running through March 28, 2010. 

This is the second year of the highly successful service that saw the spectacular Kootenay Rockies Region of British Columbia and all of its world-class ski and outdoor adventure offerings made easily accessible to virtually every major city in the United States. American travelers can leave their homes in the morning and have lunch on the slopes of Kimberley Alpine Resort within hours!

For Canadians traveling south, Salt Lake City is less than two hours away, where connections to any of Delta’s 500 destinations are convenient and economical.    The Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday flights will depart Salt Lake at 11:10 AM and return from Canadian Rockies International at 1:50 PM and feature the comfortable 50-seat, CRJ 100 jet aircraft.

 

Tickets can be booked through any travel agent or online at www.Delta.com.
“This is an opportunity for winter sports enthusiasts from all over the United States to enjoy an experience of a lifetime” said Chris Dadson, President of the Kootenay Rockies Tourism Association. “The region boasts eight alpine ski resorts, thirty heli-ski and snowcat lodges, four National Parks and the best scenery in Canada.” 

 

 

The Delta service to the traditional vacation escapes of Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles has made travel from the Kootenay Rockies quicker and more convenient than ever before. Highly competitive fares and great connections make traveling to the southern USA out of Cranbrook the most sensible vacationing option. With Delta taking reservations now, the flights will fill quickly.
