History
In 1901 the British Columbia government established a Supreme Court registry at the Town of Golden (the “Golden Registry”) by Order-in-Council 0008-1901, approved January 4, 1901.
Until 2023, the Golden Law Courts operated as an active registry and a satellite of the Cranbrook registry. A fire on 13 March 2023 destroyed the Golden Provincial Courthouse building and many of the records held within the registry. It is unclear if or when the registry will be reopened due to the destruction of the fire. Golden court proceedings have been relocated to Cranbrook in the interim.
