Home to a large Doukhobor population since the early 1900s, Grand Forks is imprinted with history and continues to celebrate and embrace the rich Doukhobor culture. Community-minded, agriculturally diverse, the area supports farming, arts and music, the ingredients of a healthy, holistic lifestyle. Located between the Okanagan Valley and the Kootenays, the rolling hills combine dry grasslands with graceful pine forests, rivers, and unique east/west valley vistas.
