I must post a comment because in the rush to “develop” this area, I see why it is in a demise. It has been 3 years since I have been to the valley and I am saddened. Nothing but high end vacation and time share properties, empty, for sale and not finished. Most of the quaint and affordable motels I remember are gone. I looked online before coming here and couldn’t understand why the rates for accomodation were so high and why there was so little available. Although I can afford to pay the higher rates, this is not what I wanted to see happen here. I always hoped this valley would not become a rich man’s playground and go the way of other pristine and beautiful areas. Sadly.in three years, much damage has been done that cannot be undone. I feel this will be my last visit here. The changes are too much and too great. Your gem is no longer and I leave the valley with it’s time shares, condos, golf courses and high end accomodation to those who not only can afford it but want to.

Quite ironic photos. Building codes, bylaws etc must be changed to enforce builders to finish what they start in a predetermined time. Who would take over though? Maybe a hefty start bond could help!! Why would anybody turn around and later buy/support these builders and their associates??

Cardel and the District of Invermere should be embarassed by what they have done in the heart of town.

Perfect photo for this. Ironic or what?
