PROVINCIAL REGISTRATION: H998271629 BUSINESS LICENSE: STR 22-25 NEIGHBOURHOOD Wilmer BC is a tiny community situated on one of the benches overlooking the Rocky Mountain Trench, just a stone’s throw from Invermere – about 5 minutes’ drive, actually. Nestled among hills and valleys amid breath-taking scenery and clear mountain air, Wilmer is a photographer’s dream and a must-visit  for anyone who loves history. Put this spot on your itinerary when you are planning your vacation in the Columbia Valley. In the late 1890’s, the City of Wilmer was a booming mining town and a few of the buildings are still standing today. They include the Delphine Lodge (1899), the Presbyterian Church (1903; where you will stay) and the Bank of Montreal. For a history lesson on the community (or a scoop of delicious Foothills Ice Cream), swing by the Delphine Lodge only a 5-min walk away. When you stay here, you'll be close to: James Chabot Beach (7-minute drive): Here you’ll find plenty of picnic tables for eating with the family, shallow water, making it perfect for swimming with the kids and ample space to launch a kayak or stand-up paddle board. Radium Hot Springs (23-minute drive): Take a dip in the hot springs and relax while soaking in a blend of scentless minerals that’ll leave you feeling brand new. An experience you won’t want to miss. The Whiteway/Kinsmen Beach (10-minute drive):  A 30km multi-use trail groomed for both cross-country skiing and skating. It was granted the world record as the world’s longest-maintained skating trail by the Guinness Book of World Records. Panorama Mountain Resort/Greywolf Golf Course (20 minute drive): In the winter, enjoy the top-ranked mountain resort for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country adventures & more. In the summer, try out mountain biking or enjoy their world-renowned course. Ranked among the top 15 best courses in Canada, perfectly positioned against the backdrop of the Purcell mountains, this is a must for any golf enthusiast. Also close by are Windermere Valley Golf Course, The Ridge at Copper Point & Eagle Ranch Golf Course. The Farmer’s Market (9-minute drive): Enjoy shopping for fresh produce and local specialties every Saturday morning this summer at our town’s local market.
