The Columbia Wetlands is a large wetland and river
system located between several major communities
in the East Kootenay portion of BC. These wetlands
are one of the largest wetland complexes in Canada
and on the planet, and are recognized as a wetland
of international importance by the United Nations
under the RAMSAR Treaty. The system stretches
150 km from Invermere in the south, to Golden in the
north, along the Upper Columbia River. There are also
significant areas of private lands in the system. The
wetlands are very important to the people that live
in the communities adjacent to the wetlands.
