We regret to announce that our 2025 Mine Tours have been cancelled due to operational changes at Elk Valley Resources (EVR). After a thorough review and collaboration with EVR, it has become clear that the route we traditionally use no longer meets our safety standards.
EVR has recently undergone significant operational adjustments that impact the accessibility and stability of the tour route. While these changes are part of their broader modernization efforts, they have resulted in conditions that pose safety challenges for guided visits.
At the Sparwood Chamber of Commerce, the safety and well-being of our visitors is our top priority. We are committed to offering memorable experiences that are both educational and secure. Unfortunately, until alternative safe routes are identified and approved, we cannot proceed with the tours.
We understand the disappointment this may cause for those who planned to visit, and we sincerely thank you for your understanding and continued support. Our team is actively exploring other tourism experiences in and around Sparwood to ensure your time in the Elk Valley remains unforgettable.
Please stay tuned for updates, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
