The Town of Golden was incorporated on June 26, 1957 and like most municipalities across BC, we continue to provide and expand a range of essential, expected, and extended services for our residents. The prominence of our historical forest and rail industries and our designation as a Resort Municipality combine to create necessary services and amenities for those who live here as well as those who come to play. We employ approximately 30 full time residents to ensure our corporation is able to provide the services that we offer, fulfill our legal obligations to the public, and maintain our community's livability.
