As the cultural and commercial centre of Boundary Country, Grand Forks offers a unique combination of ambient charm and urban convenience to this peaceful and fast-growing area. A lazy float down one of Grand Forks’ rivers to one of its many beaches is a popular pastime in the summer. Nearby Christina Lake also offers hours of family fun and water-based activities. Grand Forks’ cultural diversity is reflected in its local cuisine, artistry, and many attractions and community events.

We love it here…
“As you descend into the ’Sunshine Valley,’ Grand Forks blossoms before your eyes. With the Granby River flowing into the Kettle River, our town is rich with heritage and natural beauty. You’ll find the heart of our town filled with cafes, unique shops and in the warmer months an amazing farmer’s market. Christina Lake is down the road 20 minutes and we are located minutes away from the US border crossing. From camping and fishing, skiing, golfing, to sampling a bowl of homemade borscht, Grand Forks is a place our residents are proud to call home.” - Kerry Lea Plotnikoff, Long Term Care Aide & Logistics worker, Boundary Community Health Centre, Grand Forks
