Sparwood, BC is yours and mine.
We may be called ‘that town with the big green truck’ or we might be that community in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, right on BC’s border. But if there’s one thing we are to everyone, it’s a mining community; a collection of hard-working fun-loving people who happily call Sparwood home. We’re proud to share that with you.
Stop by anytime, share a smile or stay a while. It’s yours and mine to discover!

April 28, 2020 - Acknowledging the Day of Mourning, Mayor David Wilks shares the following message.
In recognition of the Day of Mourning, we lower our flags to half-mast to honour those who have faced illness, been injured or lost their lives to a workplace injury or disease.
This year, as the pandemic prevents us from being able to participate in a commemorative ceremony – we welcome and encourage everyone to observe the day by pausing for a moment of silence, sharing this post and committing to a continued dedication of ensuring workers and workplaces are safe each day.
