Located in the southeastern corner of the province of British Columbia, Kimberley is about four hours from Calgary by car and only an hour from Vancouver by plane. The region is known as the Kootenay Rockies and is home to numerous hot springs and heritage sites as well as some of the best golfing and skiing in all of Canada. International children and their parents can enjoy a variety of recreational and cultural day trips up and down the valley on their own time and as part of school excursions.

With a year-round population of only 7000 people, Go English participants have the opportunity to meet and get to know members of the local community. The people of Kimberley are friendly, energetic and motivated to welcome visitors from around the world. Special workshops are held throughout the year to train community members in the basics of ESL instruction to further enhance Kimberley's ability to host international students.

Kimberley is an active community committed to taking advantage of its amazing Rocky Mountain location. Children in Kimberley enjoy participating in a wide variety of after school and weekend clubs and sports. Go English participants are encouraged to join in to learn new skills, make new friends, use their English and have fun! Some of the options available include soccer, Boy Scouts, baseball, ice hockey, Girl Guides, highland dance, cross country skiing, music lessons, ballet, cycling, boxing, golf, karate, downhill skiing, figure skating and much more. Go English supports parents and children who participate in clubs or sports by assisting with registration and working with leaders and coaches to ensure each child's experience is happy and productive.
