Trail is that Kootenay gem, where we recently spotted several listings around the $250,000 mark, including three-bedroom and quaint vintage homes. The Teck Resources plant there is one of the world’s largest zinc and lead smelting and refining facilities–and a source of many great, well-paying local jobs. trail.ca
