About Us
The District of Invermere is
located in the Columbia Valley, between the Rocky and Purcell Mountain
ranges, on a lake at the mouth of the Columbia River, in the Rocky
Mountain Trench. Invermere is halfway between Radium Hot Springs and
Fairmont Hot Springs, on the west side of Lake Windermere. The
population is 3,400 full time residents, and has a very large part time
resident population, summer and winter. Established in 1810, as a
trading post, Invermere has become a popular vacation resort area. The
many golf courses, great back country, outdoor activities, and the lake
make the area a Mecca for vacationers.
