Welcome to the City of Trail, BC
A 5-Bloom Community

The mighty Columbia River flows through the heart of Trail and has been instrumental in shaping its history. From mining to sternwheelers, power supply to recreation, the beauty and mystery of this majestic river brings life to the community.

Committed to fostering civic pride, the Communities in Bloom society demonstrates residents’ can-do attitude with achievements ranging from heritage conservation to environmental awareness presented with a burst of colour.
