COMMUNITY

Fruitvale, a close-knit community with room to roam.

A short drive south-east of Trail, Fruitvale is an unassuming small town that is big on community spirit. The kind of place you could buy a few acres, plant a large garden, some fruit trees, have a horse and some chickens, and heck, throw in a goat or two.

Fruitvale is known for its plentiful trout fishing and local Nitehawks hockey club, which has produced more than its share of NHL players.

Family fun days with snowshoe races and orienteering, a welcoming library and elementary school, public art and blooming communities project – Fruitvale is rural living at its very best. A place where everyone pitches in.

A place that feels just right.
