Regional District of East Kootenay, Regional district in British Columbia, Canada.
The East Kootenay district spans 27,560 square kilometers in southeastern British Columbia, encompassing mountains, valleys, lakes, and forests across its territory.
The regional district system in British Columbia was established during the late 1960s to coordinate services between municipalities and non-municipal areas.
Eight distinct communities within East Kootenay, including Cranbrook, Kimberley, and Fernie, contribute their individual traditions to the regional identity.
The administrative center in Cranbrook provides essential municipal services for residents across the district, managing water resources and fire protection.
