This historic photo is of Silver City, located near Lake Louise was the reason Golden got its name. Convinced his CPR camp would be a booming town Mike Carlin named it Silver City and not to be outdone the people in McMillian’s camp named our home Golden City because gold was worth more than silver.

  • Flashback Friday 📰 Fall 2001!

Take a look back at these archival pages from the Golden Star and Golden News about the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge.

Built in 2001 by volunteer timber framers and locals, this iconic bridge is Canada’s longest freestanding timber-frame structure and a true symbol of community connection.

Now, 25 years later, it’s time to celebrate!

Join us at Spirit Square tomorrow evening (Saturday, Sept 26) to celebrate the 25th anniversary. See you there, Golden!
  • A pretty great way to celebrate 25 years! 🎬🍿

The Princess Bride, popcorn, hot chocolate and a beautiful evening spent outside together. 

Thanks to the Golden & District Community for hosting such a fun night!
  • It’s officially Golden season 🍂💛
