About Sicamous
Imagine life in sicamous
Sicamous, the adventure starts HERE.
Conveniently located at the intersection of two major highway routes – the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 97A – and surrounded by beautiful mountains and lakes, you’ll find the District of Sicamous in the southeastern corner of BC.
You may have heard about it from the lucky ones who have visited. Some of them passed through on their search for the perfect balance of work, life, recreation and opportunities and never left. They made the decision to live in safe neighbourhoods with great schools surrounded by unrivalled natural beauty and limitless outdoor activities.
The Sicamous region is home to many communities. Some sit high in the mountains, some alongside beautiful lakes or rivers, and others on fertile agricultural land. All of them are unique.
We think you will fit right in.
