What's New in Nelson BC?
Sports
Nelson was the host community for HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA this year. Don Cherry and Ron MacLean were in the city covering highlights of the day’s events. It was a very cold day but that didn't stop thousands of adults and children from taking part in the organized activities, and celebrating the good old Canadian game of hockey. The Stanley Cup was available for viewing at the Nelson and District Community Center. The line up for viewing was long but for all the NHL fans it was worth the wait. Nelson was very busy throughout the entire weekend as people from all over came to the area to share in the excitement.
Local junior hockey team 'The Nelson Leafs' defeated the 'Sicamous Eagles' 5-3 in Nelson on Hockey Day In Canada. The arena was packed and many keen spectators watched the game standing once all the seats quickly were filled.
Powder?
Skiers and snowboards are enjoying a great season at the local mountain White Water Winter Resort. There have been some great powder days and the current base is 262 cm. If you are planning a trip to the area and would like to get a slice of our great outdoor pie be sure to visit http://www.skiwhitewater.com/ for the most up to date conditions and schedule of events.

Real Estate
After a quiet end to the 2006 real estate market in Nelson, the first quarter of 2007 is off to a moderate start. No new stats for now but I will post updates as the real estate market unfolds throughout the year.
