    Kimberley’s Conference Centre, where our meetings are in the mountains

    Kimberley is building a brand new, scenic Conference and Training Centre at the base of Kimberley Alpine Resort. The convenient location—only a four-hour drive to Calgary, Alberta, and a 20-minute drive to the airport terminal of the Canadian Rockies International Airport—will help make the centre a desirable location for meetings and conferences.
    Construction is underway and the 24,000-square-foot centre will be completed in the fall of 2010. The centre can accommodate 350 people for banquets (500 theatre-style), and will provide a large pre-function area, four breakout rooms and advanced audio-visual capabilities.
