Area E (Balfour/Cottonwood Lake)

Area E sits along the West Arm of Kootenay Lake in southeastern British Columbia, where forested Selkirk Mountain slopes meet a long, narrow waterway. Rather than a single municipality, it is a rural electoral area of the Regional District of Central Kootenay, with dispersed lakeside communities including Harrop and Procter. Daily life is closely tied to the lake, local roads and small-scale farms, while Nelson is the nearest urban centre to the west. At Balfour, the Kootenay Lake Ferry links the lake’s western end with Kootenay Bay on its eastern shore.
