Lumbridge is a small community of approximatly 2,500 people, located near the edge of the Monashee Mountains.[3] ]]]. It is mainly a logging, manufacturing and agriculture community.[4]
The village is home to a network of trails along the creekbeds, known collectively as the Salmon Trail.[5][6]

The community was also home to the Lumby Fighting Saints of the now defunct WHA Junior West Hockey League.

Climate
Lumby has a humid continental climate with hot summers days and cool nights. Spring and fall are the driest seasons, and summer and winter are the wettest seasons. Fog often sets in during the winter, and can last for days at a time. Lumby is wetter and cooler than Vernon, but is still dry enough to contain natural grasslands, especially on south facing slopes.
During the summer months, Lumby has one of the highest diurnal temperature variations in Canada. The daily temperature swing of 20.1 degrees Celsius in August can only be beat by Beaverdell.[12]
Lumby is at a transition point between the semi-arid dry belt to the west and the interior rainforest to the east. Thus, both wet and dry vegetation are common in Lumby.
