The Charm of Coldstream:
Coldstream, nestled just outside Vernon city limits in Southeastern British Columbia, is a gem among neighborhoods. It's not just a place; it's a thriving municipality with its own mayor, council, and municipal offices, having been incorporated in 1966.

With a population of 11,171 as of 2021, Coldstream maintains a unique rural feel compared to the denser Vernon city. It's a place where you can truly experience the beauty of the great outdoors, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

Natural Wonders:
One of Coldstream's crowning jewels is its proximity to the stunning Kalamalka Lake. Known as a marl lake, Kalamalka Lake's water transforms into a captivating Caribbean blue-green hue during the summer, creating a breathtaking sight. National Geographic even recognizes it as one of the world's most beautiful lakes, translating its name to "Lake of Many Colors."

Outdoor Activities Galore:
Coldstream offers a plethora of outdoor activities. From hiking and biking to relaxing on pristine beaches, you'll find something for everyone here. The rail trail, a popular pathway, connects Coldstream to Kelowna, making it a paradise for cyclists and walkers.
