Here, where the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers meet, culture encompasses our way of life. It is the traditions, customs, values, expressions and experiences of our citizens that continually shape our cultural landscape. It is the intricate patchwork of individual relationships between our people, places and practices which connect in a way that is exclusive to us and combine to create our cultural community as a whole.
Culture at the Confluence reflects the unique cultural diversity that we preserve, maintain and celebrate throughout our community. Like two mighty rivers converging, it is the product of understanding and appreciation for our history and heritage fluently flowing together with an acceptance and openness to different perspectives and fresh ideas. It is where our connections to the past, our pride in the present and our passion for the future illustrate the cultural identity which only we can call our own.
