Salmon Arm is a growing city in British Columbia’s interior, located on Shuswap Lake, midway between Calgary and Vancouver on the Trans-Canada Highway. If you come for a visit you will never want to leave – the Shuswap always exceeds expectations! The Shuswap is named after the Shuswap First Nations – the Secwepemc – an important Salish Nation comprised of 17 Bands, whose ancestors lived in south-central British Columbia. Today, four First Nations bands live in the Shuswap region: the Adams Lake Indian Band, Neskonlith Indian Band, Splatsin First Nation and Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band.
