COLUMBIA CHAPTER

Welcome to the Columbia Chapter. We are based in Castlegar; however our club membership consists of members from all around the West Kootenays in southern British Columbia (www.kootenaysbc.com); Trail, Nelson, Christina Lake, Fruitvale, Warfield, Genelle and Castlegar.

The Columbia Chapter has monthly club meetings in the months of October to March with a pot luck dinner after each meeting, held on the second Sunday of every month.   In the months of April to September the club has at least one club ‘mini’ tour coordinated by the club Tour Chair and many assistants.  The club also receives invites from local cities and communities to participate in their local event days such as the ‘Show & Shines’.

For more information about the Columbia Chapter club please contact one of our executive members (listed below) by telephone, e-mail, or mail.
