Role and Facility Information
The Community
Tucked between towering peaks, glistening lakes, and rolling foothills lies Cranbrook—the heart of British Columbia's scenic Kootenay region. This extraordinary haven is not just a place; it's an experience for the soul. Lose yourself in the pristine beauty of Wasa and Moyie Lakes, where swimming, paddleboarding, and windsurfing await. Set off on a river safari along the mesmerizing St. Mary River, navigating its currents on a canoe, kayak, or raft. The angler's paradise of the Kootenay and Bull rivers teems with rainbow, cutthroat, and bull trout. Swing like Arnold Palmer on any of the region's seven championship golf courses, including Shadow Mountain and Wildstone. The vast network of trails beckons you to push your limits with mountain biking, hiking, and climbing across seven unique crags. The Powder Highway runs through the heart of the Canadian Rockies near Cranbrook, with renowned winter destinations like Fernie, Kimberley, and Fairmont just an hour away. Experience heart-stopping days carving down alpine bowls, shredding uncrowded trails, and conquering daring steeps in this winter sports playground. Welcome to locum life in Cranbrook, where the only limits are those of the horizon. The Practice
