SPARWOOD, BC We may be called ‘that town with the big green truck’ or we might be that community in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, right on BC’s border.

Stop by anytime, share a smile or stay a while. It’s yours and mine to discover! OUR ROOTS Sparwood is located in the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation, which covers approximately 70,000 km² within the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. Heritage and local mining history also play a large role in the character and identity of Sparwood and its residents. Some residents still have strong memories of the former settlements of Michel, Natal, and Middletown that were relocated to Sparwood in the mid-60s.
