Who We Serve

Our service area spans a large and diverse territory ranging from Hope in the west, Clearwater in the north, the Alberta border to the east, and the US border to the south.

This area encompasses 33 First Nations, 9 Regional Districts, 53 incorporated municipalities, and many unincorporated communities with over 758,000 residents in total. Of these, about half live in urban areas (with populations over 25,000) and the other half live in rural communities, split fairly evenly between the Thompson-Okanagan and the Columbia-Kootenay-Boundary regions.
