About Armstrong BC


Armstrong and Spallumcheen are situated between the sunny, rolling Okanagan Valley and the cooler, forested Shuswap Valley. The name Spallumcheen is derived from the First Nations word meaning "beautiful valley", for obvious reasons. Spallumcheen is one of the finest agricultural areas in British Columbia, predominantly cloaked in rich green alfalfa and golden grains, with diverse farms nestled among pine-clad hillsides.
