Area H (The Slocan Valley)

Built around the rural communities and river valleys of the Slocan Valley, Area H has developed into an electoral area of the Regional District of Central Kootenay in British Columbia’s West Kootenay. The Slocan River flows south from Slocan Lake toward the Kootenay River, while the surrounding Selkirk Mountains create a steep, forested setting. Silver mining shaped the wider Slocan district in the late 19th century, a legacy shared by settlements such as Slocan and the former mining town of Sandon. Rather than having one urban centre, Area H is defined by dispersed homes, backroads and close links to the valley’s lakes and mountain terrain.
