Banking in Logan Lake — Copper Mining Community in the Highland Valley

Logan Lake is a purpose-built community established in the 1970s to house workers at the Highland Valley Copper mine — one of the largest open-pit copper mines in North America, operated by Teck Resources. The community sits at 1,100 metres elevation in the Thompson Highlands, surrounded by lakes and backcountry terrain. Mining employment provides above-average incomes, making savings and investment accounts critical. KOHO's 3% interest on a $30,000 KOHO balance earns $900/year at zero monthly cost — versus $0.01% at a big bank. Interior Savings Credit Union serves Logan Lake with local products and CUDIC BC unlimited insurance. Home prices averaging around $340,000 are among BC's most affordable.

Logan Lake real estate note: At average prices near $340,000, BC PTT on resale is about $4,800. First-time buyers at or below $500,000 pay zero PTT — a full saving at this price point.
