Salmon Arm
Nestled in the lush heart of British Columbia, Canada, lies Salmon Arm, a captivating city that hugs the southern edges of Shuswap Lake. Every season here unfurls its beauty, with sun-drenched summers and magical snowy winters.
Steeped in a rich cultural tapestry, Salmon Arm traces its roots back to the Secwepemc First Nation people. The city bloomed significantly with the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway and officially made its mark in 1905. Curious about the origin of its name? Take a leisurely boat ride around the lake, discover the arm-like arc that cradles the town, and watch in awe as the majestic salmons leap during their annual runs – it all comes together!
Home to a vibrant blend of over 17,000 residents, Salmon Arm showcases a harmonious mix of European, Aboriginal, and South Asian influences. Our industries are rooted in forestry and agriculture. Our surrounding fertile grasslands and forests have claimed Salmon Arm as a vital dairy farming hub. But that's not all; our doors are always open, enticing visitors to explore our rich heritage and unique charm.
Shuswap Lake is our community's heart and our joy's wellspring. Whether swimming, sailing, or fishing, exhilarating adventures or exploration of the majestic Mount Ida and the Lobster Wharf lie ahead. In our annual "Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival", we celebrate our town's spirited rhythm.
Eating is a part of our DNA in Salmon Arm, where we savour the natural bounty. Delight in seafood, locally-raised meats, and dairy that captures our lands' earthy flavours. Pair your meal with a chirpy fruit wine or a soulful organic craft beer, lovingly produced in our own breweries.
Add a playful touch to your visit with our famed "Salmon Arm Salute". This quirky tradition, mimicking a fish’s dorsal fin, perfectly encapsulates our town's joyous spirit.
We invite you to lose yourself in our vibrant celebration of life.
