    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Nelson is an amazing small town community right on Kootenay Lake. The opportunities to explore the Canadian outdoors are endless from hiking, biking, canoeing, skiing, and 4x4ing. However, you don't have to go far to see the wildlife as you can often find them right on the creek in our backyard. Nelson has the friendly small town vibes and all the amenities you need with numerous restaurants.
