Golden is a resort municipality in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District in southeastern British Columbia, incorporated in 1957 and governed by a Mayor and six Councillors. The Town of Golden handles planning, building permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement, weekly curbside garbage and recycling collection, water, the Golden Fire Department and dog licences. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District runs the landfill, recycling depot and hazardous waste depot, and Little Mittens (not the Town) takes lost animals after hours. Many things people think of as "town" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
