Help New Denver continue to tell the story of the Japanese Canadian internment. Thank you for your support!
Welcome to New Denver! We are a small municipality of about 500 residents, situated on the eastern shore of beautiful Slocan Lake. Surrounded by the tall peaks of the Selkirk Mountain range and in close proximity to the picturesque Valhalla Provincial Park, New Denver is located in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. World class outdoor amenities are a defining feature of the area and are enjoyed by both residents and visitors alike, including Slocan Lake and its beaches, area parks, and hiking, biking, and ski trails.
Founded in 1892 and incorporated in 1929, the Village has a dynamic history, including a mining boom in its founding days, a Japanese Canadian internment camp in the 1940s, and a residential facility for Doukhobor children in the 1950s. Following mining and forestry economic ups and downs, the village is now a small, vibrant community with a diverse population.
Please see our current fundraising campaign for the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre.
