It is within the central part of the Kootenay Arc, a north-trending arcuate structural zone that lies east of the Shuswap MetamorphicComplex and merges in the east with the Purcell anticlinorium. Rocks within theRiondel area havebeen correlated with a Lower Paleozoic sequence exposed along the trend of the arc to the north and south. This sequence includes domi- nantlyquartzite andschist of theHamill Group, overlain by interlayered calcareous schist, quartzite, and marble of the Mohican Formation, a persistent and extensive Lower Cambrian marble, the Badshot Formation, and dominantly micaceous schist, calc-silicate gneiss, and amphibolite gneiss of the basal part of the Lardeau Group. The structure of the area is dominated by a series of west-dipping tight toisoclinal folds (Phase 2) that are superposed on the inverted underlimb ofan earlier recumbent anticlinal structure, named theRiondel nappe.

It would compare both the Balfour terminal and Queens Bay terminal. Kootenay Lake Ferry Map Kootenay Bay to Queens Bay sailing distance is 5.4 km Kootenay Bay to Balfour sailing distance is 8.8 km The Opportunity • Relocate the Balfour ferry terminal to QueensBay and improve safety, reduce emissions, improve service, reduce operating costs for 9,000,000 ferry users over the next 25 years. • In addition, a smaller ferry can be built and would be able, due to the significant reduction in crossing time, to surpass the car carrying capacity of the new proposed 60 car ferry during a major transportation disruption of the Kootenay Pass. • It would improve the economic and societal benefits in the Kootenay region Project Review Balfour terminal • A new ferry is required for both scenarios since the Balfour ferry needs to be decommissioned and the Osprey 2000 will need to be refurbished in 2023. • The Balfour ferry terminal needs to be refurbished, with a large parking lot extension over green space. Minor improvements at Kootenay Bay. • No significant improvement in service since travelling time remains the same.

    The 5th Annual West Kootenay Glacier Challenge Scotiabank MS Bike Tour Courtesy of: Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce 91 Baker Street Nelson B.C. Ph. 250 352 3433 [email protected] discovernelson.com Scotiabank MS Bike Tour August 20-21, 2016 The tour starts in New Denver… Slocan Valley… New Denver- Founded upon the discovery of silver in the mountains adjacent to Slocan Lake in 1891, prospectors from the United States came flooding up to the New Denver region in 1892 to stake their claims, and gather their riches. New Denver quickly grew to a population of 500 people with 50 buildings. In 1895 this growing community built government offices and supply houses for the Silvery Slocan Mines. “A Simple Curve” was filmed in and around the Slocan Valley and was debuted in 2005. The story is of a young man born to war resister parents. War Resisters- In 1976 as many as 14,000 Americans came to the Slocan Valley in an attempt to avoid the Vietnam War. About half of those who made the move were self-proclaimed war resisters, many of whom settled in the Kootenay Region. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre This exclusive interpretive centre features the Japanese-Canadian internment history of New Denver during the Second World War. The camp is said to have held close to 1500 internees during the war. The memorial centre opened in 1994, which showcases several buildings including the community hall and three restored tar paper shacks with Japanese gardens. A well known Canadian to come out of one of these local institutions is Dr.
