The Canyon to Confluence Initiative (C2Ci) is an effort to bring to life an integrated vision for how the community of Golden interacts with, protects, and celebrates the section of the Kicking Horse river that passes through town - from canyon to the Columbia confluence.
It’s an initiative of the Golden Community Economic Development Society, but we want it to be led, championed, and shaped by Golden's residents. Every citizen in the community is invited to be engaged by bringing their voice and vision to the project. We’ll be supported by expert advice, but the goal is a community-generated plan.
In July 2023, Council provided support in principle for the objectives of the C2CI provided that the municipality’s responsibility to public safety and asset protection remains unfettered, and its accountability to other governments is not compromised.
