Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway 03.05.2021

KUMR is now closed for the season leaving us with some amazing memories. The Covid pandemic made it a very challenging but interesting summer! Many thanks to our friendly, hard working, patient staff, our wonderful guests and our dedicated and resourceful volunteers without whom we could not operate! KUMR will reopen for weekend tours on the Victoria Day weekend, 2021 if all goes well.

We have developed a plan to open safely starting July 1st! We will be operating 5 days a week: Thursday through Monday with 3 trips a day during the week and 4 trips on the weekends and holiday Mondays.

Geologist Paul Ransom and Kumr President hosted special Core Shack Tours for Claire Shaw's 6-7 class and for Toni Morrison's Grade 7 class. They were able to learn about some of the Sullivan Mine history along with some of the chemistry and geology involved in the mining process.

Our very first Bunny visitor! And what a sweetie he was - very quiet and calm. We do welcome pets as long as they are on a leash or in your control. The summer is going quickly.

Trains run at 10:00, 11:30 1:30 and 3:00 on weekends and holidays, 11:30. 1:30 and 3:00 on weekdays. Hope to see you soon.

Happy Valentine's Day! It means that our opening weekend is not that far away. Our 2020 season starts on the Victoria Day holiday.

Every year Kumr hosts a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet to honour our incredibly talented, hard working and dedicated volunteers. Without these amazing volunteers, Kumr would not be able to function. The banquet gives all of us an opportunity to get together, relax and enjoy each other's company while enjoying a sumptuous meal. Many thanks to the Kimberley Elks Club, chef Patrick, and all those who decorated and helped serve and to Esther Jacobson for organizing the event.
