  • 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.

  • The 5Th Annual West Kootenay Glacier Challenge Scotiabank MS Bike Tour!
    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.

  • Geofile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14)
    GeoFile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1997 Originally created as a web article in 1997, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. Abstract The Slocan map area of southeastern British Columbia contains 271 documented mineral occurrences, including 125 in the Slocan City area and 123 in the Slocan Camp area. The area is within the Selkirk Mountains and includes the communities of New Denver, Silverton, and Slocan City on the shores of Slocan Lake (Figure 1). Figure 1: Mineral Occurrences of the Slocan Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) BC Geological Survey Mining History The Slocan area is one of the oldest mining camps in the province which flourished after the turn of the century and has continued to produce intermittently ever since. The history in the West Kootenays dates back to the 1820s when the Bluebell deposit (082FNE043), near Riondel on Kootenay Lake was discovered. Active exploration began around 1865. In 1883, Thomas Hammil located the Lulu and Spring claims (082FNE148) at Ainsworth. In the late 1880’s, Jim Brennan, a prospector working west of Ainsworth, collected some high grade silver samples which sparked considerable interest in this new and virtually unexplored area. After initial interest at Sandon, prospectors extended their range of exploration to the south and west, discovering several deposits containing appreciable gold on Memphis Creek and locating the Dayton claim (082FNW173) in 1893 near Slocan City.
