Accommodation
Hotel and Resort Accommodation (a tax of 12% is added to all accommodation) Quote: North American Orienteering Championships to get our special rates.
Both Cranbrook and Kimberley have good choices of hotel accommodation. Many of Cranbrook’s hotels are located along Cranbrook Street, the main highway through town. These are close to both stores and eateries. In Kimberley, you have hotel accommodation in the town centre and also a good selection on the ski hill, just 2 - 3 km from the main Platzl (shopping) area. Kimberley accommodation is closer to the July 1st Thomass event while Cranbrook accommodation is closer to the other events but either will be fine as the distances aren’t far and the drive is scenic.
Kamloops Accommodation can be found at the bottom of this page.
