Sparwood is situated in the South-Eastern corner of BC. In fact, if you're visiting us from the east, we're the first community in the west (of BC, that is). Our community offers exceptional lifestyle opportunities just out the back door that include world-class skiing, fishing, hiking and hunting or simply spending time in the great outdoors. The coal mining heritage that Sparwood was founded on makes it one of the world's greatest places to live and is still full of friendly folks and hard working families.
