  • Japanese and Caucasians Meet at New Denver
    IF THE CEDARS COULD SPEAK: Japanese and Caucasians Meet at New Denver PATRICIA ROY UNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of movie watchers glimpsed a scene on a mountain bench without knowing its real story. A wall H of cedar trees obscures the mountain. Directly in front of them, a tiny cabin, neatly constructed of rough-hewn, seemingly weather- beaten cedar slats looks out over a pasture and towards the water. In the film, Snow Falling on Cedars, based on David Guterson's best selling novel,1 it is the prewar home of a Japanese family on San Piedro Island (Bainbridge Island) in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. The movie features a romantic interracial entanglement, but the book revolves around the death in 1954 of Carl Heine and the murder trial of Kabuo Miyamoto, another fisher. Miyamoto's alleged motive was to regain the farm that he believed Heine's family stole in 1942 after the Miyamotos were sent to the Manzanar internment camp and could not make the final payments. What purports to be Puget Sound is Slocan Lake, and the cabin is a movie set. If the cedars could speak, they would note the irony. From 1942 until shortly after the war the pasture was part of the Harris, or Bosun, Ranch, which the British Columbia Security Commission, the federal agency responsible for the resettlement of the Japanese, leased and used to house evacuees from the Coast. The ranch was the south end of the New Denver evacuation centre, which included a main settlement in the Orchard at the townsite, and another settlement at the nearby community of Rosebery.2 1 David Guterson, Snow Falling on Cedars (New York: Harcourt Brace, 1994).

  • VWS Bulletin – Living with Bears
    Living with Bears This public information bulletin sets out the Valhalla Wilderness Society’s recommendations about bears coming into Slocan Valley villages. By far the worst problem is in New Denver; it has one of the worst bear problems in the province. This has led to two unacceptable situations. Many villagers feel it is socially unacceptable to keep attracting the bears and then killing them. And it is equally unaccept- able to have bears walking down Main Street in broad day- light or coming onto porches. This paper talks about the possible solutions. Contributors to this bulletin include bear biologist and VWS director Wayne McCrory, who has done much field research on bears and has been a consultant to A black bear cub in a fruit tree in “the or - numerous parks and large municipalities in BC on bear- chard” in New Denver.

  • Wildsafebc New Denver Nakusp Annual Report 2020
    WildSafeBC Annual Report 2020 New Denver, Silverton, Nakusp & RDCK Areas H & K Prepared by: Cora Skaien, WildSafeBC New Denver & Area Coordinator 0 WildSafeBC New Denver & Area Annual Report 2020 Executive Summary This report describes the activities of the WildSafeBC New Denver, Silverton, Nakusp and the Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas H & K, between May 1st and November 30th, 2020. This region is on the traditional and unceded territory of many First Nations groups, namely the Sinixt Peoples, but also the Syilx, Ktunaxa, and Secwépemc Peoples. It extends as far south as Edgewood and Fauquier in the west and Silverton in the East, with communities from Slocan south being serviced by the Valhalla Wilderness Society (Figure 1). The northern boundary of this region occurs at Halcyon Hot Springs on BC Highway 23. Few reports of conflict occurred in the spring, but reports of black bears visiting fruit trees increased in late July to mid-August, causing an increase in conflicts reported throughout the region for the remainder of the season. The WildSafeBC New Denver & Area Coordinator (WCC) performed outreach activities in a variety of forms with the goal of preventing conflict with wildlife in the community. Many of these outreach activities required modification as a result of COVID-19 mitigation measures. WildSafeBC successfully took advantage of new technologies to continue to deliver their program safely and effectively. The WCC focused on workshops and display booths, and had an increased presence in the Nakusp region this year compared to previous years. The WCC reached over 1,700 people in person this year, including residents and many visitors who were travelling from areas with less human-wildlife conflict.

  • Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish & Wildlife
    SLOCAN LAKE FORESHORE FISH & WILDLIFE HABITAT ASSESSMENT INCLUDING FORESHORE INVENTORY AND MAPPING (FIM) AQUATIC HABITAT INDEX (AHI) Prepared for: SLOCAN LAKE STEWARDSHIP SOCIETY PO Box 322, New Denver, BC V0G 2S0 Prepared by: GALENA ENVIRONMENTAL Ltd 8075 Upper Galena Farm Rd, Silverton, BC V0G 2B0 May 2011/File No. 09-31 Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, FIM & AHI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Responding to concerns about water quality in Slocan Lake and the potential increase in the use of the lake, local residents formed the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS) in June 2006. Expanding development pressures in the Slocan Lake area and increasing use of the foreshore areas provided the impetus to develop a strategy that will serve to direct lake and foreshore use in a manner which would respect community values and protect the existing ecosystem. One of the goals of the Society is to lead the development of a set of community-driven guidelines, in accordance with Regional, Provincial and Federal policies and regulations. These guidelines would serve to direct land and water use in and around the lake and to achieve a uniform standard for the activities of developers, local governments, the tourism industry and local residents. To serve as a basis for the development of future land-use guidelines, the SLSS undertook to complete a study of the present state of Slocan Lake. The present report documents the results of three components of that study: a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, a Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM), and an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI). In 2007, staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Nelson, carried out an Overview Foreshore Inventory and Mapping of the Slocan Lake shoreline (Arnett 2009).

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.
