Kimberley is a friendly community with a strong sense of community pride, nestled between the Canadian Rockies and the Purcell Mountains. The city is located on Highway 95A, 32 kilometres north of Cranbrook, BC. Other cities in our school district include Invermere, Radium and Golden. Kimberley is a short and scenic four hour drive from Calgary, Alberta and Spokane, Washington, USA.

Today Kimberley is a friendly mountain town with unbeatable recreational opportunities from skiing to golf to biking, and a relaxed mountain attitude.

The origins of Kimberley go back to the early 1890s when prospectors found chicamon stones or “money rock” on Sullivan Hill. This prospect resulted in the enormous underground Sullivan Mine which produced lead and zinc ore for almost one hundred years.
