Nestled in the foothills of the Beaufort Range, the Village grows in harmony with the forests, waters, and ecosystems that define its character and support its well-being. Our strength lies in connection—between people, nature, and place. A compact Village form supports a lively, walkable core where local businesses, gathering places, and cultural venues reflect Cumberland’s independent and creative spirit. Shared streets, historic alleys and greenways link homes, schools, parks, and community hubs, making movement part of daily life. Beyond the Village, a world-class trail network winds its way through forested hills, connecting residents and visitors to nature, adventure, reflection, and one another. Creativity and collaboration shape how we live and grow. Cumberland fosters innovation in housing, design, and transportation to ensure that people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds can find a home and a sense of belonging. Arts, culture and public events animate the community, reflecting the shared belief that vibrant streets and strong social bonds are the foundation of resilience. Cumberland honours its relationships with First Nations, advancing reconciliation through respect, shared learning, and stewardship of the land. As a climate-conscious community, we lead with courage and practicality—reducing emissions, conserving resources, and building infrastructure prepared for a changing climate. Together, we are shaping a connected, resilient Village—one that grows thoughtfully, cherishes its natural surroundings, and celebrates the everyday life that gives Cumberland its heart.", "movedBy":
