New Denver

New Denver combines the calm scale of a lakeside community with the hard-edged legacy of the Slocan silver rush, reflecting its position on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake in southeastern British Columbia. The village developed in the 1890s as prospectors and businesses moved into the mineral-rich Slocan district. Across the lake, the Valhalla Range forms a rugged backdrop, while Valhalla Provincial Park protects a large tract of mountain country. New Denver also carries a difficult wartime story: Japanese Canadians were forcibly relocated here during the Second World War. The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre preserves this history in the place where it unfolded.
