Found between the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers in the Selkirk mountains, Castlegar is the second largest city in the West Kootenay region. Of its over 8,000 residents, 23% are seniors 65+. Castlegar takes its name from its founder Edward Mahon’s ancestral home Castlegar in County Galway, Ireland.

The Castlegar CRN is very excited to announce the introduction of a transportation assistance program for seniors, organized by IRIS (Increasing Recreation Involving Seniors) – read more about the program here.
