The nice thing about the Shuswap region and Salmon Arm, well known for its beautiful, lush setting amidst mountains, lakes and valleys, highlighted by magnificent Shuswap Lake, and rich in culture and arts and our diversified economy includes forestry, agriculture, tourism, manufacturing and commerce, is the simple fact that the climate is moderate and has four distinct seasons.
