KITCHENER
is a tiny and unincorporated settlement near the Goat River in the Eastern confines of the Kootenay region of British Columbia about 15 kilometers east of Creston. The townsite started out in 1899 and was surveyed by Earl Kitchener, a British Imperial war hero and who the town is named after. Although logging, the forest industry and mining are important to the town’s local economy, it is mainly a residential community for residents, who drive the 15 kilometers to Creston for work.
KITCHENER’S POPULATION: 218
