Radium Hot Springs Aquacourt, nestled in the stunning Kootenay National Park, has long been a destination of natural wonder, drawing more than 200,000 visitors annually. The mineral-rich waters that flow from the earth have been used for centuries by the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc peoples for their healing and rejuvenating properties. These sacred hot springs remain a place of reflection, wellness, and connection to nature.
The upgrades to Radium Hot Springs include state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical systems, utilizing energy-efficient technologies that harness geothermal energy from the springs. Enhanced resilience to climate change was a core goal of the project, as improvements to the cold pool now protect it from flooding, contributing to both visitor safety and environmental sustainability. The addition of culverts beneath the Aquacourt protects its foundation from erosion and helps preserve nearby aquatic ecosystems.
This extensive renovation underscores the Government of Canada's commitment to preserving national treasures, enhancing the tourism sector, and supporting local communities. By modernizing the Radium Hot Springs Aquacourt, a designated Classified Federal Heritage Building, Canada ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy this unique natural retreat. The integration of green technologies and climate-resilient infrastructure not only ensures visitor safety but also strengthens conservation efforts, protecting both natural habitats and built heritage for years to come.
