New Denver: Highway 6 at Highway 31A in - looking north
New Denver has served as a mining centre in British Columbia’s Slocan region since the 1890s. Set on the eastern shore of Slocan Lake, the community developed during the silver boom that drew prospectors into the Selkirk Mountains; several heritage-era buildings still mark its compact centre. In 1942, New Denver became one of the British Columbia sites where Japanese Canadians were forcibly confined during the Second World War. The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre preserves this difficult chapter through restored buildings and interpretation. Today Highway 6 runs through a small lakeside settlement framed by forested mountain slopes, with the lake and surrounding backcountry central to its identity.

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.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
